CEO jailed for conspiring to send missile materials to Iran
It is a metallic powder that can be used in missiles.
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
The CEO of a New York City based company has been sentenced to over 4½ years in prison for conspiring to send a steel company in Iran a metallic powder that can be used in missiles.
Erdal Kuyumcu (EHR'-dahl koo-YOOM'-koo), the head of Global Metallurgy (MEHT'-uh-lur-jee) LLC, was sentenced Thursday in Brooklyn federal court.
Prosecutors say he conspired to export a powder containing cobalt and nickel without getting a required license.
Such metals are closely regulated by the US Department of Commerce to protect national security.
The defense said the powder is used primarily for industrial gas turbines. But prosecutors say it also has military applications.
They say an intermediary in Turkey was involved with an Iranian steel company linked to nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

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. 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.
