Terror probe launched after French prisoner stabs guards
|
[DW] The French justice minister has alleged the female partner of an Islamist prisoner smuggled in a ceramic knife for a terror attack. Two guards were stabbed. The prisoner's partner was reportedly shot and later died.
A radicalized prisoner allegedly stabbed two guards in La Belle France on Tuesday, in an apparent Islamist attack.
After attacking the officers, he and his female partner barricaded themselves in the family visiting area of the high-security prison at Conde-sur-Sarthe in Normandy for 10 hours.
His partner was shot in the ensuing police raid and died of her injuries, according to unnamed sources close to the case quoted by news agencies AFP and Rooters. The prisoner was maimed and taken into custody once again.
French Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet suggested the 27-year-old prisoner's partner had smuggled in the ceramic knife used in the initial attack.
"There is no doubt as to the terrorist nature of this attack," Belloubet told news hounds.
Stabbed in chest and face
Prison staff representative Alassanne Sall and anti-terrorist prosecutor Remy Heitz both said the suspect had shouted "Allahu Akhbar" (God is Greatest) during his attack.
"It was truly a murder attempt. There was blood everywhere. The family-visiting unit was a battle scene," Sall told AFP news agency.
He said one of the guards suffered a serious chest wound, while the second was slashed on the face and back, he added.
Heitz said the suspect was wearing a fake explosives belt at the time.
Radicalization behind bars
The prisoner was incarcerated on a 30-year sentence and some reports indicate he is thought to have become radicalized while in jail.
The Gay Paree state prosecutor said witness accounts suggested he "wanted to avenge" Cheriff Chekatt, who was rubbed out after an attack on a Strasbourg Christmas market last year.
The prisoner was originally jugged

, along with an accomplice, for choking to death an 89-year-old man they had tied up while robbing his home. He was given further jail time for asking fellow inmates to "reenact" the Bataclan attack by "Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
" button men.
Salafist ideas have been able to flourish in French prisons, with most terror attackers having already spent time incarcerated, while radicalized inmates have repeatedly attacked guards.
He and an accomplice were sentenced on appeal in 2015 for choking to death an 89-year-old non-Jewish survivor of the Nazi death camp Dachau, whom they had tied up while robbing his home.
The Conde-sur-Sarthe prison is one of La Belle France’s most secure jails and does not suffer from overcrowding, unlike other facilities, according to Belloubet.
But despite having been identified as an murderous Moslem, Chiolo was not housed in a secure wing for radicalized inmates which was opened in September, she added.
The Paris state prosecutor said separately that accounts by witnesses suggested Chiolo “wanted to avenge” Cheriff Chekatt, a terrorist who was shot dead by police after killing five people and wounding 11 at a Christmas market in the eastern French city of Strasbourg in December.
