Cairo - Arab Today
An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced seven Islamists to death over charges of killing a police general in a firefight on the outskirts of Cairo in 2013, official MENA news agency reported.
Another five defendants were sentenced to five years in prison in the same case, the report said.
The defendants were accused of storming a police station, killing the chief, Nabil Farag, and wounding nine other policemen in Kerdasa on Aug. 14, 2013.
The police station was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and then torched.
In Aug. 2014, a lower court confirmed the death sentences on the 12 defendants on charges of killing Farag.
The Court of Cassation ordered a retrial of seven of the defendants last year.
The defendants were further accused of funding and administering terrorist attacks, assaulting the private life of citizens, harming the national unity and social peace, targeting public institutions and disturbing public order.

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.
