Mohamed Amra, the convict freed by gunmen in a murderous motorway attack Tuesday, has a long history of convictions for violent crimes that started when he was only 15, according to judicial sources.
The 30-year old inmate from Rouen in northwestern France, reportedly known as "La Mouche" (The Fly), was still on the run Wednesday, a day after accomplices killed two prison officers at a toll station and fled the scene with him. Three other prison guards were injured in the attack, with one fighting for his life.
