A gang has used rocket launchers and heavy weapons to blow open the outer doors of a French prison and free their friend in a spectacular jailbreak. Four or five men in police uniform attacked the prison in Fresnes, south of Paris. They fired repeatedly with rocket launchers at the prison doors and the watchtowers, causing serious damage but no injuries. Antonio Ferrara, 29, an Italian being held for manslaughter and armed robbery and who had already escaped from prison once, fled with his accomplices in a waiting car, which police believe had been stolen and fitted with false registration plates. Justice Minister Dominique Perben, who was at the scene three hours later, deplored what he called a 'military-type operation'. It was the third prison breakout this year in France. 'What worries us is that the accomplices are not afraid to use weapons of war any more,' a prison union official commented after a breakout earlier this month on Borgo, Corsica. |
