2 held over attack plot days ahead of French vote
French police on Tuesday arrested two men suspected of preparing an “imminent” attack
Paris - Arab Today
French police on Tuesday arrested two men suspected of preparing an “imminent” attack, sources close to the probe said just days ahead of the first round of France's presidential vote.
The suspects, aged 23 and 29, were arrested by French domestic intelligence service agents in the southern city of Marseille, one of the sources said. Anti-EU, anti-immigration candidate Marine Le Pen has cast herself as the best defender against the jihadists who have killed over 230 people in France since 2015.
Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron, the 39-year-old europhile given the best chance of beating her in a run-off, are leading in opinion polls for the first round of the election on April 23, with around 22 to 24 percent each.
Radical leftist candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon and conservative ex-premier Francois Fillon have gained ground, transforming the election into a tight four-way race. The two leaders of the first round will go through to a runoff on May 7.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led hisGMT 11:43 2013 Tuesday ,07 May
