Hundreds of prisoners escaping from an Egyptian prison

.- Hundreds of prisoners from the prison of Al Fayum Egyptian escaped today after killing the prison director, said the Qatari television channel Al Jazeera. The incident at the detention center, located 95 kilometers south of Cairo, is registered in the chaos that reigns in parts of Egypt for the withdrawal of police from Friday night.

The Egyptian media also reported the escape of prisoners in other prisons, but such cases are not as numerous as that of Al Fayoum. Some of the inmates who have escaped have been arrested again late on when engaging in acts of looting, according to footage broadcast on public television tonight.

The Egyptian army has come to control strategic locations in Cairo and other cities starting tonight and has deployed its forces in neighborhoods of the capital to combat looting.
