Daesh car bomb kills at least 7 in Baghdad
The reflexion of an Iraqi youth is seen on a pool of blood
Baghdad - Arab Today
A car bomb attack claimed by the Islamic State jihadist group killed at least seven people near a hospital in central Baghdad, police said.
The blast was close to the site of a July bombing that killed more than 300 people, in the worst single bomb attack to ever hit the Iraqi capital.
An explosives-laden van exploded in Baghdad's Karrada neighbourhood a little before midnight (2100 GMT), setting several nearby shops on fire, police said.
A police colonel reported an initial toll of seven killed and at least 15 wounded for the blast, which went off near Abdel Majid hospital.
The figures were confirmed by interior ministry sources.
IS, a Sunni extremist organisation, claimed the bombing in a statement, saying it had targeted Shiites and warning of further attacks, US-based monitor SITE Intelligence Group reported.

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.

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.
