A notorious career criminal has made a spectacular escape from a French prison by blasting his way out with explosives.
The escape occurred at Sequedin prison in northern France when 40-year old convicted armed robber Rédoine Faïd used explosives allegedly smuggled in by his wife to blast open five separate prison doors. During the break-out he took four wardens hostage at gunpoint, releasing one just outside the prison before driving off with the others in a getaway car. Faid released another guard several hundred meters from the prison and the final two on a stretch of highway. He then torched the vehicle near Lille before getting into another vehicle.
Authorities have begun an international manhunt, issuing a European arrest warrant covering 26 countries. Interpol is also attempting to track him.
Faid, a French-Algerian criminal well known in France for bold attacks on armoured cars and for his links to organized crime, was described by state prosecutor Frederic as "particularly dangerous." Police believe he is still in possession of explosives.
