Gang Attacks Jail with Bazooka, Frees Inmate

Amazing. From Gang Attacks Jail with Bazooka, Frees Inmate:

A commando-style gang used a bazooka to blow its way into a prison near Paris and free one of the inmates in a pre-dawn raid on Wednesday, officials said.

The gang of four or five men machine-gunned watchtowers at the prison, in Fresnes to the east of the French capital and near Disneyland Paris, before rushing inside to the cell of Antonio Ferrara, who was serving time for organized crime.

"The commando gang entered the high-security section of the prison and gave Antonio Ferrara explosives which allowed him to blow open the bars on the window of his cell," said Christophe Marques, a prison officers' representative from the FO union.

The gang then left together by car. No one was injured.

Television pictures showed a hole blown in a door to the prison and burned out cars lining streets nearby.
