[link to www.hurriyetdailynews.com] Gunmen attacked two Iraqi jails in a bid to free prisoners, killing at least 12 security force members in fierce clashes that raged all night, officials said on Monday. 40 wounded Officials said at least five members of the security forces were killed at Taji prison, and seven others at Abu Ghraib, notorious for abuses committed by US forces against Iraqi detainees in 2004. Around another 40 security force members were wounded. It was not immediately known how many of the assailants were killed, wounded or captured. The attacks were launched at around 9:30 pm (1830 GMT) on Sunday when the gunmen fired mortar shells at the prisons. Explosives on board cars were then detonated near the entrances to the jails, while three suicide bombers attacked Taji prison, said the police colonel.
