See link below......... 4 sentences up from the bottom row.
Latest is that Interpol has now issued a global alert after Alkaida/al qaida linked prison breaks.
INTERPOL issued a “global security alert advising increased vigilance for terrorist activity” on Saturday. While the U.S. government has warned of al Qaeda’s terrorist plotting against embassies and consulates, ordering 22 diplomatic facilities closed over the weekend, INTERPOL is alarmed by al Qaeda’s role in several large-scale jailbreaks.
Al Qaeda's flag flies over the U.S. embassy in Tunisia.
The alert was issued after “a series of prison escapes across nine INTERPOL member countries in the past month alone, including in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan.” INTERPOL highlighted the “suspected Al Qaeda involvement in several of the breakouts,” which “led to the escape of hundreds of terrorists and other criminals.”
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), an al Qaeda affiliate, claimed responsibility for an assault on two Iraqi prisons in late July. According to the Washington Post, “U.S. officials put the number of escapees at between 500 and 600, including a significant number of al Qaeda operatives.”
Days later, the Pakistani Taliban led an assault on a prison in Dera Islmail Khan. Nearly 250 prisoners were reportedly freed, including dozens of hardened terrorists. As Bill Roggio pointed out, the assault was likely led by “Ansar al Aseer, a joint unit created by” the Pakistani Taliban and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU).

Our media on that day was preoccupied. Ten days earlier a certain trial had ended and nothing much was seen on the media about killing in Syria, Egypt, Libya or any warnings. Priorities !!!
