Finland suspect an asylum seeker, targeted women
People bring memorial candles and flowers to the Turku Market Square for the victims of Friday’s stabbings in Turku
Turku - Muslimchronicle
The Moroccan man suspected of killing two people and injuring eight others in a stabbing attack in Finland was an asylum seeker who targeted women in his attack, police said on Saturday.
“We think that the attacker especially targeted women, and the men were wounded after coming to the defence of the women,” superintendent Christa Granroth of Finland’s National Bureau of Investigation told reporters.
Two women were killed in Friday’s attack, and eight other people were injured. Among the eight were six women and two men, police said.
“One man was injured trying to help a victim and one man tried to stop the attacker,” Granroth said.
Suspect shot, arrested
Police shot and wounded the knife-wielding suspect, arresting him minutes after an afternoon stabbing rampage at a busy market square in Turku in southwestern Finland.
Police identified him only as an 18-year-old Moroccan national who had arrived in Finland in early 2016 and who had sought asylum.

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
