The notorious French fugitive who staged a deadly escape that killed two guards last year has been extradited to France from Romania.

The Paris prosecutor says investigators haven't been able to identify the attacker who wounded six people with a sharp metallic hook in the French capital's Gare du Nord train station before being shot and wounded by police.

The Paris prosecutor says 26 migrants have been formally identified in the tragic capsizing last month of a boat in the English Channel that cost the lives of at least 27 people trying to reach Britain.
