US State Department condemns banner in Moscow calling Obama 'killer'
President Barack obama
Washington - Arab Today
Washington condemns the banner hanging on a building near the US embassy in Moscow labeling US President Barack Obama a "killer," TASS news agency quoted Deputy State Department Spokesperson Mark Toner as saying at a briefing on Wednesday.
"Freedom of speech is freedom of speech, no matter where. But we obviously object strongly to the characterization of our president in such a way," the spokesperson told reporters.
An art group Glavplakat took credit for making the banner saying on its website on Wednesday the move came in protest against Washington’s plans to "put boots on the ground" to fight against the Daesh terrorists in Syria and Iraq.

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.
