N'DJAMEMA, Feb 6 (Reuters) - French Defence Minister Herve Morin flew to Chad on Wednesday in a show of support for President Idriss Deby, who survived a weekend assault on the capital N'Djamena by rebels seeking to topple him.

"I can confirm that Mr Morin is in N'Djamena and will be visiting French troops and the Chadian authorities," a spokesman at the French military base in N'Djamena told Reuters. (Reporting by Pascal Fletcher)
