Iraq's elite counter terrorism forces advance in Hit, 85 miles west of Baghdad, Iraq
Doha - Arab Today
A member of the Qatari royal family and a Pakistani have been released by kidnappers in Iraq after nearly four months in captivity, the Qatari Foreign Ministry has said.
The pair were among more than 20 people abducted from a desert hunting party close to the Saudi border last December.
The ministry initially announced “the release of a Qatari citizen and his Asian companion who were kidnapped in Iraq.” “Efforts are still ongoing to free the rest of the 26 kidnapped,” a brief statement published on the official QNA news agency said.
A source said that talks were continuing with Iraq to try to secure the release of the remaining hostages.

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. 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.
