PARIS -- A notorious French criminal serving 25 years for murder made an audacious escape from prison Sunday after a helicopter carrying several heavily armed commandos landed in a courtyard, freed him from a visiting room and carried him away.

It was the second daring escape by Redoine Faid, who once blasted his way out of a different prison with explosives hidden in tissue packs. His latest escape, from Reau Prison, took only "a few minutes," France's Justice Ministry said. Unarmed guards said they could do nothing to prevent it. "Everything is being done to locate the fugitive," an interior ministry official told Reuters.

Dressed all in black, two commandos wearing balaclavas and police armbands entered the prison to look for Faid. They used a grinding machine to open the door to the visiting room, Martial Delabroye, a representative of the guards' union, told BFM television. The commandos used smoke canisters to hide from video cameras, and the helicopter touched down in the only part of the complex that was not covered by anti-helicopter netting, said another union member, Loic Delbroc. When the chopper arrived, Faid was meeting with his brother in the visiting room. A third commando was holding the pilot at gunpoint, union members said.

Did the guards surrender?

According to the sources, three armed gunmen arrived at the entrance of the prison demanding Faid’s release to create a diversion.

Add "Notorious French Gangster" to my list of band names.

I'm here for the French surrender jokes.


The prison had a line of concrete fortifications, obstacles, and weapon installations built to deter prison breaks and force them to move around the fortifications.

after she had several drinks and a few bong hits, my ex girlfriend let me give her a Notorious French Gangster.

Also the complete listing starts with general arrogance, then taunt, followed by cry

Sometimes they taunt a second time. 

They found the killer resting at home, they told him not to ever do that again, and to have a good night.

This. Nobody hurt. Stylish movie escape. It makes you pull for the guy.

Lol my first thought too.

Sometimes you just gotta be the person who’s willing to be that daring.

Also lol at “the helicopter landed in the only part of the prison without anti-helicopter netting”.

The netting doesn't allow the cigarette smoke to dissipate properly.  You don't expect unarmed French guards to forgo their cigarette breaks, do you?
