Australia immigration detainees dig tunnel in failed escape plot
CNN
Detainees at an immigration center in Australia spent five months digging an escape tunnel hidden beneath a chest of drawers in one of their rooms, a source within the country's immigration system told CNN.
The source said the tunnel was 15 meters (50 feet) long and ran under a number of rooms before passing under a road at the Yongah Hill Immigration Detention Centre, around 100 kilometers (62 miles) east of the city of Perth, Western Australia. The tunnel had passed the first of three perimeter fences, the source said, and it was anticipated that two more months of digging would be needed to reach the outer fence.More Related News
