More than 200 half-naked inmates escape jail in Uganda

Prisoners took off distinctive yellow uniforms to avoid being spotted in remote Moroto area

Uganda's military and security forces are pursuing a group of 210 inmates who escaped in a massive jailbreak and stripped half-naked to avoid being identified as prisoners.

Three of the escapers from the prison in the remote town of Moroto, 286 miles from Kampala, have been killed and seven detained. A senior military officer was also killed in an exchange of fire at the prison in the foothills of Mount Moroto on Wednesday afternoon.
