Somalia hotel attack
Mogadishu - Arab Today
The Al-Shabaab militant group has claimed responsibility for two explosions that rocked the Somali capital of Mogadishu Wednesday, killing at least 13 people, Somali police Major Ahmed Ibrahim said.
Attackers detonated a truck bomb and then stormed the Daya hotel, which is near the country's parliament building and popular with both lawmakers and government officials, Ibrahim said, adding that the death toll could rise.
Heavy gunfire was heard inside the hotel while dozens of people, including politicians, were staying at the hotel at the time of the attack.
The Islamist extremist group al-Shabaab claimed the attack through its online radio, Andalus, saying its fighters entered the hotel and an "operation is ongoing".

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. 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.
