Maiduguri - Arab Today
Emergency officials say three suicide bombers set ablaze three fuel tankers in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri but killed only themselves.
Officials are blaming Boko Haram insurgents who many times have attacked Maiduguri, the birthplace of the militant extremist group.
Friday’s attack comes days before the UN Security Council is scheduled to visit Maiduguri on a tour of countries in the Lake Chad Basin, which has been devastated by the Boko Haram uprising.
Spokesman Abdulkadir Ibrahim of the National Emergency Management Agency says a fire caused by Friday’s explosions is under control. He says one bomber exploded beside a tanker, killing the two others and setting ablaze the other tankers.
More than 20,000 have been killed by Boko Haram over the past seven years, with 2.6 million people left homeless.

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.
