An inside job: How a Jewish terror group broke hundreds out of a British jail in Palestine

LONDON:New information from the family of a British civil servant has revealed that a legendary 1947 breakout from a British prison in Palestine was an inside job by the jail’s own architect.

The Acre Prison break is said to have exposed the British Empire’s ailing grip on Palestine, and until now, details of how the Jewish terrorist group Irgun managed to break 250 people out of the jail have been shrouded in mystery.
