French Gangster who escaped from prison captured!

(CNN) -- French gangster Redoine Faid, the subject of aninternational manhunt after his brazen escape from a prison last month, is back in custody, the country's Interior Ministry said Wednesday.

Faid held five people, including four guards, at gunpoint at a detention center in the northern city of Lille on April 13, officials said.

He then burst his way to freedom, detonating explosives to destroy five doors.

Early Wednesday, French police arrested Faid, labeled France's "public enemy No. 1," at a hotel in the Seine-et-Marne region to the east of Paris, the ministry said.

Between 70 and 80 police officers took part in the predawn raid, Lille prosecutor Frederic Fevre told reporters. Faid was asleep and offered no resistance when police entered his hotel room.

Mr. Faid has been escaped multiple times and the question stands why he isn't under more strict confinement or why they havent asked him to put his skills into something more productive like training the police for these sort of events instead of wasting time and money searching for him.
