2 Saudi policemen have been shot and killed as police continue to hunt suspects
Riyadh - Arab Today
Two Saudi policemen were shot dead on Wednesday when they came under fire in the kingdom's east, where most of the minority Shiite community live, the interior ministry said.
The pre-dawn attack happened near a farm in the Saihat area of Qatif, on the Gulf coast.
A ministry spokesman said the suspect or suspects had not immediately been identified.
It is the latest incident in the area as police continue to hunt suspects on a list of 23 wanted people issued in 2011 after Shiite unrest.
Last week, two Indian passersby and a policeman were wounded when police came under fire from a farming area in Qatif.
Many suspects on the wanted list have already been detained or killed in shootouts.

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.
