Suspected US airstrike kills 2 Yemen children

Aden/Washington - Arab Today
Two children, aged 10 and 12, were killed in a suspected US airstrike targeting Al-Qaeda in central Yemen, a provincial official said on Tuesday.
The children had been tending a herd of goats on a mountain outside the village of Yakla, in Baida province, when the strike hit on Sunday, the official said.
There was no immediate comment from the Pentagon.
Meanwhile, US airstrikes against an Al-Qaeda-linked militant group in Yemen killed a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who was released in 2009 despite earlier recommendations that he remain in custody because he was considered a high threat to America and its allies.
The Pentagon said Mohammed Tahar, a Yemeni, was killed. Tahar was held in Guantanamo for seven years.
A March 2008 memo from the detention center commander warned that Tahar would engage in extremist activities if he was released.
Also killed was Usayd Al-Adani, an explosives expert and district leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Navy Capt. Jeff Davis said the latest strikes in Yemen’s Abyan region bring the total number of attacks to more than 40 over the past five days.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
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" opened 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.
