Afghanistan. French paratroopers at war.
No week without crossfire for French paratroopers since the tragic ambush of last August. From the forward operating base of Nijrab in the north of Kabul, a small camp like Fort Sagane trapped under the Hindou Koush mountains, the French battalion displayed on the front line has gone back to war of high intensity with a tough well-equiped enemy. Daily patrols and attacks led by French troopers has permited to reconquest the field around Kabul in a few months.
