Beirut - Muslimchronicle
Security reinforcements were sent to the Lebanese Christian town of Al-Qaa after reports that gunmen may have entered.
A number of suicide bombers attacked the Lebanese Christian village last year killing a number of people and wounding dozens more.
ISIS was responsible for the bombings in the village of Qaa on Lebanon's border with Syria.
Lebanon has been repeatedly jolted by militant attacks linked to the war in neighboring Syria, where the powerful Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah is fighting in support of President Bashar al-Assad.
It was not clear why the town had been targeted, as Lebanon’s Christians have not played a role in Syria’s civil war.
Towns in eastern Lebanon have absorbed large numbers of Syrian refugees, sometimes doubling or tripling their population. After last year’ attacks, a number of towns near Al-Qaa announced curfews for Syrian refugees out of fear that militants could hide among them.

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. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
