Mogadishu - Muslimchronicle
At least three Somali soldiers were wounded Sunday in a roadside blast on the outskirts of the capital Mogadishu.
Police said the soldiers who were in a convoy were injured when their vehicle ran into a landmine in Hanta Dheer location in Daynille district within Mogadishu.
"I can confirm that three soldiers were wounded during the attack. They vehicle was also damaged by the explosion in Hanta Dheer," an officer who requested anonymity told Xinhua.
A resident also confirmed the incident to Xinhua noting the explosion caused panic early Sunday.
"A huge blast went off in Hanta Dheer this morning. We were scared it was a heavy bomb explosion but learnt that the military were attacked as they travelled by," Ahmed Nur said.
The Somali security officers later cordoned off the scene and launched a major manhunt for the suspects behind the incident.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack which comes barely a week after a convoy from African Union was hit in a similar attack in the same area.

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.
