Paris, February 25 (RHC)-- A report says French special forces have been deployed in Libya under the pretext of fighting Daesh terrorists operating in the North African country.
On Wednesday, France’s Le Monde reported that French special forces and members of the DGSE external security service were in Libya for "clandestine operations" against Daesh militants.
Following the release of the report, French officials said they had launched a probe into a possible leak of classified documents. A violation of defense secrecy in France carries a penalty of up to three years in prison as well as a 45,000-euro ($50,000) fine.
