French paratrooper killed in Mali, presidential palace says

Description

A French paratrooper was killed in northern Mali Wednesday morning during an operation against an “armed terrorist group”, the French presidency said in a statement. The unnamed air command parachute sergeant was killed in the Kidal region’s Adrar des Ifoghas massif, the presidential communiqué said. The presidency expressed “profound respect for the sacrifice” made by the sergeant. France’s Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said French forces had clashed with militants linked to al Qaeda’s North African branch, known as al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb or AQIM.
