Afghan authorities said Tuesday they have recaptured 65 of the more than 400 inmates who slipped out of a southern Afghanistan prison a day earlier through a nearly quarter-mile tunnel dug beneath the compound.
A massive search operation continues to find the others - many of them insurgent fighters, said the Kandahar governor's office.
