19 prisoners freed by comando group (Spanish)

http://www.eluniversal.com/sucesos/130321/grupo-comando-facilito-la-fuga-de-19-reclusos-durante-un-traslado

Un grupo comando interceptó el autobús donde eran trasladados 19 reclusos de la cárcel de Tocorón (en Aragua) hacia el penal de Cumaná, a la 1 de la madrugada de hoy, cuando transitaba por el sector El Guapo, en el estado Miranda.

Los asaltantes trancaron el paso de la unidad y sometieron a los Guardias Nacionales y custodios, para facilitar la fuga de todos los internos.

Les quitaron tres fusiles AK 103, calibre 765 y huyeron.

La información se conoció por fuentes carcelarias, quienes señalaron que se trató de una acción planificada. No determinaron si los reclusos fueron sacados del lugar en otras unidades o, por el contrario, se adentraron en las poblaciones cercanas.

Commando-style group storms bus and helps 19 inmates escape
A commando-style group intercepted a bus where inmates were moved from Tocorón jail (central Aragua state) to Cumaná (eastern Anzoátegui state) and freed the 19 prisoners at around 1 am on Thursday, on the national road to eastern Venezuela, at El Guapo, Miranda state.

The men carried 556-caliber rifles, boarded the bus and subdued five Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) troops guarding the prisoners. Then, the attackers took the troops' five 765-caliber AK 103 rifles.

The information was disclosed by prison sources, who noted that this was a planned action.
