The Prison Fortress Massacre That Shocked AfghanistanAdded:
In November 2001, 600 Taliban prisoners were locked inside Afghanistan's ancient Qala-i-Jangi fortress.
Within hours, they had turned it into a killing field. The uprising began during a routine interrogation. Prisoners attacked guards with hidden grenades and seized the weapons cache. CIA operative Johnny Spann became the first American killed in Afghanistan when prisoners beat him to death with their bare hands.
For 3 days, the medieval fortress echoed with gunfire as prisoners fought from underground tunnels. When the smoke cleared, nearly all 600 were dead. The fortress had become their tomb.
