US scrambled jets as Syrian regime targeted Kurdish forces
Syria attack
Washington - Arab Today
The US-led coalition scrambled fighter jets to protect Kurdish forces working with American advisors in Syria as they were being targeted by planes from President Bashar al-Assad's regime, the Pentagon said Friday.
"This was done as a measure to protect coalition forces," Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis said of Thursday's incident, in which regime bombers conducted air strikes in the area around the northern city of Hasakah.
"We did make clear that US aircraft would defend troops on the ground if threatened."
No injuries were reported, Davis said.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
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" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
