US kills 'several militants' in Somalia air strike
US forces on Thursday launched an air attack in Somalia
Washington - Muslimchronicle
The US military announced Thursday it had killed "several militants" in an airstrike against Al-Shabaab jihadists in Somalia.
The attack took place early Thursday in the Bay region in the center of the country, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of Mogadishu.
The strike was carried out "in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia," the US Africa Command said in a statement.
"Al-Shabaab has pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda and is dedicated to providing safe haven for terrorist attacks throughout the world," it said.
Al-Shabaab was blamed for the October 14 truck bombing in Mogadishu that killed 358 people, and an attack on a hotel on October 29 that left 27 dead.
On Saturday the US mission to Somalia urged all non-essential staff to leave Mogadishu immediately following a specific threat against them.
That was one day after the US Africa Command launched drone strikes that targeted an Islamic State base in the country's northeast.

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
