Mohamed Amra : Inmate Freed in Ambush: Family Dispute Leads to Attack at Mosque

PARIS — French authorities are conducting a widespread search for armed individuals who carried out a brazen attack on a prison convoy. The assailants killed two prison officers, injured three others, and successfully freed the inmate they were escorting. The escaped convict, identified as Mohamed Amra, has a history of criminal activities dating back to his teenage years.

With at least 13 convictions for robbery and other offences, Amra is considered dangerous and a high priority for law enforcement. International policing agency Interpol has issued a Red Notice to aid in the capture of the fugitive, marking him as a significant target for global law enforcement.

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice, declaring, “We are tracking you, we will find you and we will punish you.” The Interior Minister, Gerald Darmanin, has mobilised hundreds of officers to assist in the manhunt, calling the efforts “unprecedented.”
