Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
The US Department of Defence said on Friday the leader of the Daesh in Afghanistan Abu Sayed was killed by US forces in a raid earlier this week.
The airstrike, which occurred on July 11 on the Daesh headquarters in Kunar province, also killed other extremist members, said Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White in a statement.
The strike was believed to "significantly disrupt the terror group's plans to expand its presence in Afghanistan," according to the statement.
Sayed was the third Daesh leader in Afghanistan that has been killed by Afghan and US forces in the past 12 months. His predecessors were dead in late July 2016 and late April this year respectively.

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.
