Free Market Fights Back: Gunmen use helicopter to attack prison

Armed men firing from pickup trucks and flying in a helicopter attacked a maximum security prison holding some of Brazil's highest profile inmates but were repelled by guards, authorities said.

They said no inmates escaped.

The federal prison attacked late yesterday houses Colombian drug lord Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia and Brazilian gang leader Luiz Fernando da Costa - and authorities were investigating whether the gunmen were trying to free either of the men.

"The prison was attacked by gunmen wielding heavy calibre weapons," Wilson Damasio, the director of Brazil's Federal Penitentiary System, told reporters. "The idea was obviously to free inmates. There is no other reason for attacking a penitentiary."

The helicopter flew over the prison during the attack but never landed, according to justice ministry spokesman who declined to give his name in keeping with department policy.
