(Reuters) - Requests for information about joining the French army have surged following the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris, military officials said on Friday.

Colonel Herve Chene, head of airforce recruitment, said the numbers visiting his unit's hiring centers had tripled since Islamist militants killed at least 130 people a week ago.

Clicks on his unit's recruitment website had shot up too.

"Under normal circumstances, our website gets 2,000 visits per day. Now we have over 20,000," Chene told Reuters.
