Paris---France will call up 10,000 military personnel to bolster security around "sensitive" sites in the country, in the wake of terrorist attacks that left 17 dead, its defence minister said Monday.
Jean-Yves Le Drian unveiled the fresh measures after an emergency meeting called by President Francois Hollande as attention turned to preventing a repeat of France's bloodiest attacks in half a century.
