40 inmates escape from jail in Brazil

Forty inmates have escaped from jail in the eastern Brazilian city of Recife after a bomb was used to blow a hole in an external wall.  

Most of the prisoners were captured after a manhunt on the streets lasting several hours, but two were killed and one remains at large.  

It is the second mass breakout in the area in a week. 

Last Wednesday, 53 men escaped from another jail on the city's outskirts and only 13 of them have since been found.
