The inmate, understood to be a Muslim convert, was heard shouting “Allahu Akbar” — God is Greatest in Arabic.

Police were called to HMP Frankland in County Durham and cells locked down for searches.

Last night, one officer was in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and another had been discharged.

A source said: “This was a pre-planned attack and the inmate had made a ‘shank’.

“He went up behind the officer on one of the wings and stabbed him several times, including in the neck.

“They did well to subdue him so quickly. Even the cons were shocked and everyone was talking about how it was a terror attack — and they were surprised one had not happened before.

“There was also talk that the attacker had converted to Islam inside the jail.”

One wing holds Islamist inmates, and there is a separation unit for those deemed a threat to national security.

Many cons are thought to convert amid threats from Muslim gangs.

Inmates at the 850-capacity jail include Ian Huntley, Levi Bellfield, Wayne Couzens and New York Stock Exchange bomb plotter Dhiren Barot.

Prison Service sources accepted the attacker shouted “Allahu Akbar” but said they were not treating it as terrorism.

A spokesperson said: “We cannot comment on a live police investigation.

“We do not tolerate violence towards our hard-working prison officers and will always seek tough punishment for anyone found responsible.”
