They weren't French.
They were Italians.

[Rain-maker]

Antonio Ferrara, sounds more like Italian or Sicilian to me. French are still wimps.

[lavaroise]

Ferrara is a Marseille or Italian name, in other words it ain't French. The ones surrendering were the guards on the watch towers.

A commando-style gang used a bazooka to blow their way into the prison of Fresnes, in the suburbs of Paris, and free one of the inmates in a pre-dawn raid March 12, 2003. The gang of four or five men machine-gunned watchtowers, before rushing inside to the cell of Antonio Ferrara, who was serving time for organized crime. (Xavier Lhospice/Reuters)
