Incarville, France: <\/b><\/p>\n

The attack on a prison van in northern France that left two guards dead and three wounded began at 10:57 am (0857 GMT) and lasted just two minutes.<\/p>\n

A black Peugeot SUV rammed the vehicle as it emerged, lights flashing and followed by a second prison service car, from the motorway toll gate at Incarville, just south of Normandy capital Rouen.<\/p>\n

Out of the ramming car, “stolen a few days before” according to top Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau, surged hooded attackers in black armed with military-style weapons.<\/p>\n

The vehicle “had halted on the verge, waiting for the convoy” to pass the toll, Beccuau added, in a sign of an attack prepared down to the last detail.<\/p>\n

CCTV images from the scene viewed by AFP show the beginning of the assault on the prison van, although a passing truck obscures some details.<\/p>\n

More assailants can be seen arriving from behind the convoy, with prosecutors saying they jumped out of a white Audi car.<\/p>\n

The prisoner, Mohamed Amra, was being escorted that day by five guards — a “level three” protection that is the second-highest available for inmate transport in France, reserved for those implicated in terror or organised crime cases.<\/p>\n

Guards were “of course armed”, Beccuau said, adding that “initial findings from the scene lead us to think that some may have used their service weapons”.<\/p>\n

But the team had on them only “a basic Sig Sauer (automatic pistol) against military weapons,” said Frederic Liakhoff, a representative for the FO union at the prison in the northern city of Caen where Amra was being transported.<\/p>\n

‘Very, very loud’<\/strong><\/p>\n

With their “long weapons” (rifles), the attackers “fired multiple times on the two prison service vehicles, killing two agents and wounding three others,” Beccuau said.<\/p>\n

It was the first time a French prison guard had been killed in the line of duty since 1992.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the life of one of the three men injured remains in danger.<\/p>\n

There were “loud gunshots, very, very loud,” said Jerome Barbier, who was on his way to tend his beehives near the Incarville toll station when the attack happened.<\/p>\n

“After that, there was a pause for one or two minutes, a big blast, two gunshots and then it was all over,” the local resident told AFP.<\/p>\n

One minute and 40 seconds into the attack, the surveillance video shows a man — apparently a guard — being forced towards the prison van at gunpoint.<\/p>\n

Instants later, a man wearing white trainers climbs out.<\/p>\n

He and five black-clad accomplices flee before an explosion.<\/p>\n

Later Tuesday, “two vehicles were found burned out” not far from the scene, Beccuau said.<\/p>\n

“The crime scene reveals the extreme violence the criminals we are hunting for perpetrated,” she added after visiting the site.<\/p>\n

“The resolve of judges and investigators will rise to the challenge of this violence.”<\/p>\n

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told broadcaster RTL that “considerable” resources had been deployed to find escapee Amra and the “gang who freed him in deplorable circumstances”.<\/p>\n

“More than 450 police and gendarmes” were in the field Tuesday in the Eure department where the attack took place, he added, saying France had also called in “international cooperation”.<\/p>\n
