Mass Escape of Guerrillas in Uruguay
Tupamaro guerrillas planned a widespread escape from Punta Carreteras Prison in Montevideo. A traffic sign inside a nearby house directed fugitives to a route and clothes stash as 106 comrades and five other prisoners broke out with no shots fired. The operation involved digging a tunnel into the living room and moving through a network of houses and vehicles, with police monitoring patrols near the escape site.
