Belmokhtar rejects Daesh allegiance pledge
Algerian jihadist commander Mokhtar Belmokhtar
Nouakchott - Arab Today
Algerian jihadist commander Mokhtar Belmokhtar distanced himself on Friday from a pledge of allegiance made by his jihadist group to Daesh organisation, Mauritanian media reported.
Belmokhtar's north African Al-Murabitoun group was linked to Al-Qaeda but a recording broadcast by Mauritanian news agency Al-Akhbar on Thursday said it was aligning itself with Daesh organisation and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
But Belmokhtar described the declaration as "contrary to the basic texts governing the Al-Murabitoun movement", according to the agency, adding that it contravened guidance issued by the movement's "shura" advisory council.

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.
