Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
More than 2.5 million worshippers, including foreign pilgrims, performed the last Friday prayer of this Ramadan at the Grand Mosque in the holy city of Makkah and the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah, Al Arabiya News reported after Saudi security forces foiled a terrorist attack in the area.
The worshippers also attended the Khatm Al Quran prayer after the completion of the recitation of the holy book during Taraweeh at the two mosques on Friday night.
Al Arabiya also broadcast footage of worshippers praying in the mosque, with no interruption.
Ministry spokesman General Mansour Al Turki said that police "foiled the terrorist plan that targeted the security of the Grand Mosque, pilgrims and worshippers."
In dawn raids on Makkah and the Red Sea city of Jeddah officers arrested five suspects, including a woman, before surrounding the bomber's location around the Grand Mosque.

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.
