Indonesia: 12 prisoners escape jail on Batam island

Indonesians have been warned to be on the lookout for escaped prisoners for the second time in less than a week.

Just days after more than 100 escaped from a jail in Medan there's been a breakout on the island of Batam.

12 prisoners escaped after attacking their guards but one has since been recaptured.
