France will send more military advisors to Iraq and its aircraft carrier will return to the Middle East later this year in the fight against the Islamic State jihadist group, President Francois Hollande said Wednesday.
"We will intensify the army's efforts to support the Iraqis as they try to recapture Mosul (from the jihadist group)," Hollande said, adding that the Charles de Gaulle carrier will return to the region "in the autumn" to be used for bombing raids on IS targets.
Hollande dispatched the carrier to the region following the November 13 attacks on Paris in which 130 people were killed in what he said then was "a war" against the jihadist group.

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.
