France targets Daesh site near Iraqs Mosul
Paris - Arab Today
France's defense chief says French warplanes targeted a communications center of Daesh group near the Iraqi city of Mosul as part of a string of airstrikes this week, ABC News reported on Thursday.
Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on BFM television Thursday that France has carried out seven airstrikes since Monday. He says the latest airstrikes targeted the communications center overnight, and "it's continuing."
France joined the US-led coalition's campaign against Daesh group in Iraq in 2014 and extended its air operations to Syria last year, after France was repeatedly hit by attacks or threats linked to the extremists.

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.
