A shield and a target: France's anti-terrorism operation 'Sentinelle'

Description

"Sentinelle" is the name of an ongoing military operation on French soil: French soldiers patrol the streets, acting as a first line of defence and a shield for potential terrorist attacks.

Our France 2 colleagues, Dorothée Olliéric and Sylvain Giaume, report.
