2 killed as Libya militias fight over airport
Libya airport
Cairo - SPA
A Libyan security official says at least two people were killed when a stray rocket hit their house as rival militias exchanged heavy fire around Tripoli's international airport, AP reported.
The bombardment resumed early Sunday after cease-fire efforts failed, the official said.
The weeklong battle over the airport is being waged by a powerful militia from the western city of Zintan, which controls the facility, and militias, including fighters from Misrata, to the east of Tripoli.
A Libyan Arab Airlines plane was hit by a mortar shell and a column of black smoke could be seen billowing from inside the airport, which has been closed since Monday.

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.
