Police kill two suspected militants in Indian Kashmir
SRINAGAR - Arab Today
Two suspected rebels were killed Saturday in Indian-administered Kashmir in a firefight that broke out when government forces intercepted a vehicle they were traveling in, police said.
Superintendent of police, Imtiyaz Hussain, said they had information that the militants were traveling toward the city of Srinagar.
“We intercepted their (the militants’) vehicle near Sopore on the main highway. They lobbed grenades at the forces and were killed in retaliatory fire,” Hussain told AFP.
Two police officers, including member of a special anti-militancy group, were injured, Hussain said.
Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since they won independence from Britain in 1947. Both claim the Himalayan territory in its entirety.
Several rebel groups have for decades fought the 500,000 Indian troops deployed in the region, demanding independence or a merger of the territory with Pakistan.
The fighting has left tens of thousands, mostly civilians, dead.

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.
