Some 11 civilians were killed in a roadside bomb explosion in Afghanistan's southern province of Helmand on Saturday, provincial government spokesman said.
"Eleven civilians were travelling on a tri-cycle in Bolan, an area in outskirts of Lashkar Gah at around mid-day. The vehicle touched off an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and the blast caused all the people aboard the vehicle killed," Omar Zwak told Xinhua.
He blamed Taliban militants for planting the IED along the road in the province, 555 km south of Afghan capital of Kabul.
The Taliban has been using IEDs to target security forces but the lethal weapons also inflict casualties on civilians, according to military officials.
More than 3,540 civilians were killed and over 7,450 others injured in 2015 as violence spread in different places of the country, according to figures released by UN mission in Afghanistan.
Out of the casualties, 713 civilians were killed and more than 1,650 injured by IED attacks last year.

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.

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
