PARIS - Hundreds of police are scouring northern France for Mohamed Amra, a fugitive known as"The Fly" who was freed by gunmen in a brazen attack against a prison van that killed two guards and wounded three.* The 30-year-old was born in the northern French city of Rouen and has a formidable rap sheet, with 13 convictions, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said on Tuesday. His first conviction came in 2009, when he was just 15.
Amra was convicted of burglary by a court in Evreux on May 10 and was being held at the Val de Reuil prison. A few days before his escape, he had tried to saw his way out of his cell, officials said.
