The News International Monday penned an editorial following a new security plan after Taliban militants struck at the Bannu jail April 15 and freed 384 prisoners. At least 20 high profile prisoners, including one who was involved in an attack on former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf, were among those who escaped.

The daily said: "If ever there was a case of the stable door being firmly shut after the horse had bolted, it is the new security plan for prisons in Punjab - and presumably elsewhere in the country."
