As protests turn violent
Pakistan calls on army to restore order
As plumes of smoke rose from the site of the highway clashes, officials in Islamabad
Islamabad - Al Maghrib Today
Thousands of Pakistani police officers in riot gear fired tear gas and rubber bullets Saturday as they tried to clear out a firebrand cleric’s supporters, who have paralyzed the Pakistani capital for weeks with a protest on a main highway.
Authorities said at least six protesters were killed and 200 people — including dozens of police officers and paramilitary troops — were injured as stone-throwing crowds fought with police for control of a highway intersection. Clashes also broke out in other cities, including Lahore and Karachi, with officials saying at least 150 protesters have been arrested.
As plumes of smoke rose from the site of the highway clashes, officials in Islamabad requested the help of the army to “control the law-and-order situation” in the capital, according the Interior Ministry. The ministry said military authorities would determine the number of troops to be deployed.

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.

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.
