Bangkok - Muslimchronicle
Massive methamphetamine pills and crystal methamphetamine were seized by a combined soldiers and police force in northern Thailand on Saturday.
Soldiers patrolling in forest area and farmland in Chiang Rai on Friday found 81 green backpacks containing 4.3 million meth pills and 81 kg of powerful tranquilizer ketamine hidden about 1.5 km from the border with Myanmar, police chief said in a news conference on Saturday.
Nobody was arrested from the haul, according to police who believed that the drug has been smuggled and hidden in the forest for further distribution.
The case is under investigation.
Chiang Rai is a mountainous region bordering Laos and Myanmar, which makes up the Golden Triangle that once provided at least half of the world's opium supply.
Lots of drugs coming into Thailand from the north pass through Chiang Rai Province on their way south.

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.
