The news came after the government earlier confirmed it had special forces operating in the North African nation. Authorities did not provide details on the non-commissioned officers' deaths, saying only that they were killed while serving in Libya. It saluted their "courage and dedication" in a short statement and extended condolences to their loved ones. French media reported that the trio were killed when their helicopter was shot down…" FRom here link Amicalement Armand |

Very Sorry to hear of those losses. But it only makes sense that France has a lot of payback to inflict on Daesh and it's supporters. I believe they have SF in Iraq as well … |

Based on past conflicts you can probably find French Special Forces in Mali, Central African Republic, Ivory Coast, Libya, and possibly Syria. They're busy as little bees! |

The guys were from the DGSE "service action" so not exactly special ops force in the traditional way. However it is also confirmed that France has special force in Syria, Mali, Tchad, etc. but we can suspect that they are not alone there :) |

But most importantly the French are in action on the ground … Even if they are just training locals and calling in CAS. |
