Rajo: As many as 20 ISIS terrorists reportedly mutinied and escaped a northwestern Syrian prison following the deadly earthquake, a source at the facility told AFP. The military police prison in the town of Rajo near the Turkish border holds around 2,000 prisoners, with about 1,300 of them suspected to be ISIS terrorists, said the source.

 

"After the earthquake struck, Rajo was affected and inmates started to mutiny and took control of parts of the prison," noted the official at Rajo jail, which is controlled by pro-Turkish groups, as per AFP.

 

"About 20 prisoners fled… who are believed to be IS militants," the official added.

 

Notably, the powerful earthquake of 7.8 magnitude on the Richter scale was followed by dozens of aftershocks in the region, causing damage to the building, with walls and doors cracking, the source noted.

 

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor confirmed that there was a mutiny but could not verify whether prisoners had escaped.
