Which counterterrorism unit stormed the Air France Airbus in Marseilles, France and killed 13 hijackers with no loss of life among hostages?

  1. Army Ranger Wing

  2. GIGN

  3. GEO

  4. Border Guard Force

The correct answer is: GIGN

This is incorrect. It was actually the French counterterrorism unit GIGN (Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale) that stormed the Air France Airbus in Marseilles and successfully killed 13 hijackers without any harm to the hostages. The other options listed are not involved in this particular event. Army Ranger Wing is an Irish special forces unit, GEO (Grupo Especial de Operaciones) is a Colombian special forces unit, and Border Guard Force is a government agency in various countries responsible for border security. It is important to read the question carefully and consider which units would have been involved in this specific scenario.
