Prison Guards Block Access To Prison To Demand More Security After German Al-Qaeda Convict Attacked Guards

VENDIN-LE-VIEIL, FRANCE - JANUARY 15: Penitentiary staff demonstrate outside the high-security prison, on January 15, 2018 in Vendin-le-Vieil, France, northern France. Prison guards demand more security after three prison guards have been injured in a blade attack by a German Al-Qaeda militant. Islamic convert Christian Ganczarski, serving an 18-year sentence over the 2002 blast in Djerba that killed 21 people, launched himself at prison officers after hearing he may face extradition to the US in connection with 9/11 investigations, according to union sources.
