Mogadishu - Arab Today
At least two Al-Shabaab militants were killed and two government soldiers injured after the insurgents attacked a local administrator of Bardhere town in Gedo region, southwest Somalia, officials said Saturday.
Al-Shabaab militants attacked the house of Mohamed Hussein, the Head of Projects of Bardhere town in Gedo region on Friday night.
Security guards and the group members exchanged heavy gunfire, killing two militants.
"I survived the attack after the terrorists targeted my house which is highly secured. Two of the militants were killed on the spot while others were wounded. However two of my security staff were injured in the attack," Hussein told reporters.
Independent sources say the death toll could be more than the number mentioned as there was fighting between the two sides.
The militant group also attacked the airport of the town which is a base for African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
Somali National Army backed by AMISOM captured Bardhere town from Al-Shabaab in 2015, however the group still stages attacks in the town.

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. 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.
