A soldier involved in France's
Sentinelle anti-terrorism operation who has been found dead was
an Italian national, the Nice-Matin newspaper reported Tuesday,
saying it was a case of suicide.
It reported that the dead man, a 24-year-old originally from
Treviso, joined the French army just over a year ago.
It quoted a prosecutor as saying other soldiers found him
dead after hearing a gun shot.
He was at Breil-sur-Roya, not far from the Italian border.
