A prison inmate in northwestern France seriously wounded two guards on Tuesday in a knife attack that officials said was being treated as a terror incident.
“There is no doubt as to the terrorist nature of this attack,” Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet told reporters.
Regional and elite police units have been dispatched to the high-security prison in Conde-sur-Sarthe in Normandy, officials said. “It was truly a murder attempt. There was blood everywhere. The family-visiting unit was a battle scene,” said Sall, from the Force Ouvriere trade union.
