France: Two Months After the Bloody Prisoner Escape

Mohamed Amra


On May 14, in northern France, a police van carrying a prisoner named Mohamed Amra was attacked by his confederates, and Amra was freed. Two correctional officers were killed and three wounded. Two months later, Amra and the attackers are still at large. Now the French police and prosecutors have sent out a public appeal for witnesses to come forward if they were in the vicinity that day and observed anything unusual.
