TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libya’s Supreme Security Committee says 120 prisoners have escaped from jail in the capital city of Tripoli, where security guards are suspected of having accepted bribes to free them.

Spokesman Abdel-Moneim al-Hurr says only two of the 120 have been arrested since their escape Monday. It is the second jailbreak in Tripoli this year.

Prisoners say that since Libya’s uprising, some of them have
been languishing in prisons without charge.

The North African country has been reeling from a security breakdown and a weakened judiciary following last year’s eight-month civil war.
