8 killed in Afghan suicide bombing
The explosion also injured 17 others
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
At least eight people were killed and another 17 wounded on Thursday in a suicide attack on a group of demonstrators gathered in support of a former police chief in Afghanistan's Jalalabad city, officials said.
The attack occurred around 2.30 p.m. in front of the house of the former police chief in the capital of Nangarhar province, said provincial governor's spokesperson Attaullah Khogyanai. Several of the victims were children.
No insurgent group has claimed the attack. In Nangarhar, the Taleban as well as Daesh are known to be active.
A week ago, 15 people -- including eight policemen and the attacker -- were killed in a suicide attack at the entrance of a hotel in the northwest of Kabul.
Since the end of NATO's combat mission in January 2015, Kabul has been losing ground to insurgents and now controls only 57 per cent of the country, said Special General Inspector for Reconstruction of Afghanistan of the US Congress.

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. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
