UK Ends Investigation into Allegations against British Troops in Iraq
UK Ends Investigation into Allegations against British Troops in Iraq
London - Arab Today
An investigation by the British government into allegations of abuse against British forces in Iraq will be shut down within months, the UK Defense Secretary announced.
The Iraq Historic Allegations Team (IHAT) will close in the summer and around 20 cases will be dealt with by the Royal Navy Police, Secretary Michael Fallon said.
It comes after a scathing report by the Defense Subcommittee said the investigation had subjected serving and retired troops to "deeply disturbing" treatment and had "directly harmed" UK defenses.
MPs set out a litany of failures about the way the Ministry of Defense, which created IHAT, has handled the probe. They blamed the department for empowering law firms to generate cases that lacked credibility on an "industrial scale".
The committee also said it was "deeply concerned" the MoD had used public funds to cover the costs of those who were bringing "spurious and unassessed" cases against the war veterans and about the lack of support for those accused.

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 his
