Suicide bomber strikes Afghan funeral, killing 15
People carry the coffin of a relative who died in Thursday’s suicide attack on a Shiite cultural center in Kabul
Kabul - Muslimchronicle
An Afghan official says a suicide bomber targeting the funeral of a local official has killed at least 15 people and wounded 13.
Noor Ahmad Habibi, deputy spokesman for the governor of the eastern Nangarhar province, says the bomber set off his explosives vest among people gathered in the provincial capital, Jalalabad, to mourn a former district chief.
No one immediately claimed the attack. The Taliban and an ISIS affiliate are both active in Nangarhar and routinely target security forces and local officials.
It comes days after ISIS claimed an assault on a Shiite cultural center in Kabul that left 41 people dead and more than 80 wounded.
Backed by intensive US air strikes, Afghan forces have claimed growing success against the Taliban and other militant groups, including ISIS, but attacks on civilian targets have continued, causing heavy casualties.

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
