    KABUL, Afghanistan - Two U.S. Marines were killed during a prisoner escape attempt in southern Afghanistan Saturday.

    The prisoner escaped a room where he was observing prayer time, acquired a rifle and subsequently engaged Afghan and coalition forces.

    The Marines were killed while trying to subdue the prisoner.

    The prisoner was later shot and killed by small-arms fire.

    The incident remains under investigation.
