The head of the main prison in the Afghan city of Kandahar has been detained after about 500 inmates, many of them Taliban, escaped on Monday.
Gen Ghulam Dastgir, Sarposa prison's governor, was handcuffed along with his deputy and several bodyguards, after they were questioned by investigators.
The Afghan justice minister said on Tuesday that the escapees must have had inside help.
They escaped through a long tunnel dug from outside the prison
