Explosion kills 6 at funeral in Yemen’s Marib
Mourners perform prayers during the funeral of army officers, including Major-General Abdel-Rab al-Shadadi, a top general in forces loyal to Yemeni President Hadi's government.
Sanaa - Arab Today
An explosion killed six people and wounded 20 as they attended a funeral service in the Yemeni city of Marib, east of the capital Sanaa, the government-run news agency Saba said on Friday.
The blast occurred as condolences were being paid after the death of Abdel-Rab Al-Shadadi, an army general in Marib who was killed a few days ago in fighting with Houthi militia, local officials told Reuters.
Among those killed in Friday’s blast was Salem Al-Shadady, the older brother of the general killed earlier, Saba said.
Yemen’s war has intensified since UN-sponsored peace talks in Kuwait ended in August without an agreement.

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.
