Pakistani Prisoners Use Turbans To Escape
Maybe the jailers should have seen it coming.

The BBC reported Thursday that seven prisoners had escaped from a high-security prison in Pakistan by using their turbans as ropes.

The seven men, some of whom were convicted for murder, busted through a bathroom window in the hospital wing of the prison in Machh, 30 miles south of Quetta (search), the capital of Baluchistan province (search).

They then crawled out the window, unplugged an electric security fence and unrolled their turbans, tossing them over the prison's exterior wall and climbing up the lengths of cloth.

A prison official told the Associated Press the inmates were being held in the hospital because of overcrowding.

A search was under way in nearby villages
