Guards set fire to tires, block gates to 18 prisons in France after 'terror attack'
 By Anna Hopkins | Fox News

 The entrances to 18 prisons in France were blocked by guards Wednesday who burned tires and other materials at the gates in protest of the stabbing of two colleagues at a jail in the northwest of the country in what has been described as a "terrorist" attack.

Outrage was ignited on Tuesday when Michael Chiolo, a "radicalized" inmate at the Condé-sur-Sarthe jail, seriously wounded two guards when he stabbed them with a ceramic knife.
