Communist rebels in the Philippines have freed seven of their colleagues from jail without firing a shot, after tricking prison guards.

In what appears to have been a carefully planned raid, the rebels arrived at a jail near Manila disguised as drugs officers while many of the prison staff were away attending a seminar.

They talked their way into the building, saying they had come to take custody of some of the inmates before overpowering the prison guards and escaping in waiting vans.

The inmates clashed with police at a roadblock as they made their escape.

The freed prisoners were facing charges including murder, kidnapping, and rebellion.
