Anti-tank weapons
Washington - MENA
The United States plans to deliver 1,000 anti-tank weapons to Iraq in June to combat Daesh suicide bombings like those that helped the group seize Ramadi, a senior U.S. State Department official said on Thursday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the militant group carried out about 30 vehicle suicide bombings to take the Iraqi city, about 10 of them roughly the size of the truck bomb that killed 168 people in Oklahoma City in 1995.
The United States decided to supply Iraq with anti-tank weapons when Iraq's prime minister visited Washington in April and plans to deliver 1,000 of the shoulder-fired AT4 systems in early June, the official told reporters.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
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.

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.
