Jeddah - Muslimchronicle
Maritime border guards in Jazan have foiled a Yemeni attempt to smuggle 128kg of hashish into Saudi Arabia through its territorial waters.
Spokesman Col. Saher bin Mohammed Al-Harbi said guards detected an attempt to smuggle drugs from the Yemeni coast toward Baish district in Jazan.
After pursuing, boarding and searching the boat, four Yemenis were arrested after guards found the hashish.
Al-Harbi said Saudi borders guards will stand resolute against any attempt to smuggle illegal drugs, and they have all the means to do so.
Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry said Saud bin Furaij Al-Omairi, a Saudi, and Hamzah Mohammed Dawood Al-Khatib, a Jordanian, were executed in Tabuk for smuggling amphetamine pills into the Kingdom.
The ministry said the General Court convicted the smugglers. The sentence was endorsed by the appeals and supreme courts, and a royal order was issued to carry it out

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.
