STORYLINE:
French authorities said Saturday that a fugitive convict who prompted an international hunt after a deadly prison escape has been arrested.

The French interior minister said Mohamed Amra was arrested in Romania.

He didn’t provide details.

Two guards were killed when Amra escaped from a prison convoy in Normandy last May.

Amra fled after being sentenced for burglary.

He was also under investigation for an attempted organized homicide and a kidnapping that resulted in death.

The Paris prosecutor said Amra had connections with Marseille’s organized crime syndicates and was suspected of heading a drug trafficking network.
