Suicide Bombing Kills 6, Wounds Dozens In Northwest Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan ? A suicide bomber targeting a police van killed six people in northwestern Pakistan on Monday, including the son and nephew of an Afghan official involved in peace negotiations with the Taliban, officials said.

The bomber, who was riding a motorcycle, detonated his explosives as the police patrol drove by in the northwestern city of Peshawar, said city police chief Liaqat Ali Khan.

The two Afghans who were killed ? Qazi Mohammad Hilal Waqad and Mohammad Idrees ? were working at their country's consulate in Peshawar where the attack occurred, said Afghan Consul General Syed Mohammad Ibrahim Khel in Islamabad.

However, it did not appear they were the target of the attack, Khel said.

Waqad's father, Qazi Amin Waqad, is a member of the Afghan High Peace Council, a group appointed by the Afghan government to hold peace negotiations with the Taliban, said an official at the consulate in Peshawar, Shakir Qarar.

The peace council member was in Afghanistan when the attack occurred, while Waqad and Idrees were driving to work when the bomber struck, Qarar added.

Three policemen were among over 30 people who were wounded by the blast, said the police chief, Khan. Many of the dead and wounded were from a nearby passenger bus, which bore the brunt of the attack.

Local TV footage showed the wreckage of the bus and the motorcycle, as rescue workers rushed wounded people to hospitals in the city.

No one immediately claimed responsibility, but suspicion will likely to fall on the Pakistani Taliban. The group has been waging a bloody insurgency against the government for years and has stepped up attacks ahead of next month's parliamentary election.

On Sunday, the Taliban killed 11 people in bomb attacks on a political rally and two campaign offices in the northwest, part of their quest to disrupt the election. The group has killed at least 60 people in attacks on politicians and party workers since the beginning of April.

The Taliban have specifically targeted more secular political parties that have supported military offensives against the militants in the northwest. The Taliban have largely spared Islamic parties and others who believe the government should strike a peace deal with the militants, rather than fight them.

There is a concern that the violence could benefit the parties that take a softer line toward the militants because they are able to campaign more freely ahead of the May 11 election.

"Unless the government, the country's independent election commission and security forces ensure that all parties can campaign freely without fear, the election may be severely compromised," Ali Dayan Hasan, the head of Human Rights Watch in Pakistan, said in a statement issued Monday.

Italy's Saccomanni moves from central banker to economy minister

By Gavin Jones

ROME (Reuters) - Italy's new Economy Minister Fabrizio Saccomanni is a 70-year-old central banker virtually unknown to the general public, who should reassure financial markets and the rest of Europe that the country will not stray from fiscal orthodoxy.

He has spent most of the last 46 years at the Bank of Italy, where he is deputy governor, having been passed over for the top job when Mario Draghi left in 2011 to head the European Central Bank.

Few can doubt Saccomanni's knowledge of economics and finance, but without any party affiliation he may lack the political clout to push through unpopular policies and risks being caught in the crossfire of cabinet infighting.

Draghi pushed for his deputy to replace him when he left the Bank of Italy but Saccomanni was opposed by Silvio Berlusconi's center-right government and compromise candidate Ignazio Visco leapfrogged him in the bank's hierarchy to become governor.

That was not the first time Saccomanni missed out. In 1998 he was expected to be Italy's first member of the ECB's six-member executive board but lost out to Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, who was more favored by Romano Prodi's center-left government.

Reserved but amiable, with a dry sense of humor, Saccomanni continues a tradition of technocrats who have made the move from the Bank of Italy to the economy ministry, the most recent examples being Padoa-Schioppa and Carlo Azeglio Ciampi.

He had to overcome the resistance of Berlusconi, a key stakeholder in Prime Minister Enrico Letta's left-right coalition, who said on Friday that Saccomanni would be an unacceptable appointment.

"We've had enough of technocrats, we have been through a government that created a disaster because of its excessive fiscal rigor," he said, in reference to Mario Monti's outgoing technocrat administration.

RECESSION

Saccomanni publicly backed Monti's austerity policies several times, abandoning his usual reserve to take on a role of convincing the press and investors of Italy's creditworthiness at the height of the euro zone debt crisis in 2011 and 2012.

However the central bank's forecasts proved far too optimistic on Italy's growth prospects as the country sank into its longest recession for 20 years.

As economy minister, Saccomanni's primary task will be to breathe life into the euro zone's third largest economy with structural reforms and growth-boosting measures without allowing public finances to go off the rails.

One thing the center-right and center-left components in the broad coalition most strongly agree on is that Italy must try to re-negotiate its fiscal targets with Brussels and win more leeway to stimulate the ailing economy.

With his economic experience, international credibility and fluent English, Saccomanni will be well placed to present Italy's case.

Despite his low public profile he has been well known to the international financial elite for decades. He sits on the board of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel and was one of the behind-the-scenes negotiators who prepared Italy for European Monetary Union in the 1990s.

A native of Rome, he studied economics at Milan's Bocconi University and later at Princeton University in the United States and joined the banking supervision department of the Bank of Italy in 1967.

He has been at the central bank ever since, excluding stints on secondment to the International Monetary Fund from 1970 to 1975 and as deputy president of the London-based European Bank for Re-construction and Development from 2003-2006.

Saccomanni is married with no children.

Facebook gets upgraded on older BlackBerrys, adds more focus to photos

Many of the BlackBerry faithful might not have got around to upgrading to version 10 just yet (perhaps they're waiting on that keyboard model), but they haven't been completely forgotten. A refreshed version of the BlackBerry OS 5 Facebook app is now available, bringing it at least a little more in line with other modern iterations. Expect your pictures to gain more importance in your newsfeeds and timelines, both of which finally get pull-to-refresh controls. The new version is currently being rolled out to BlackBerry's app stores globally -- see if yours is ready at the source.

NJ defendant: Cannibalism too creepy for NY trial

NEW YORK (AP) ? The lawyer for a New Jersey man charged in a kidnap-murder case said Thursday she'll seek to exclude from his trial mention of his ties to a police officer convicted in a cannibalism plot.

Attorney Alice Fontier said cannibalism is too "creepy" for jurors to hear at the upcoming trial of Trenton resident Michael Vanhise. He's scheduled for a November trial on charges stemming from a plot to kidnap and kill women.

"At some point, you really want to cap the creepiness," she said. "To my knowledge, Mr. Vanhise has never discussed cannibalism with anyone and so I don't want it before the jury."

She also said it was likely Vanhise would testify at trial.

"He may be the only one who can credibly say: 'This is what I was thinking about,'" when confronted with things he wrote online, she said.

The attorney spoke outside court after Vanhise and two co-defendants pleaded not guilty to a new indictment.

Vanhise was arrested in January and charged with plotting with former New York police Officer Gilberto Valle to kidnap and murder a Manhattan woman. References to Valle and cannibalism were excluded from descriptions of a kidnapping conspiracy charge in an indictment returned Wednesday.

In the latest court papers, Vanhise was paired with a former librarian at Stuyvesant High School in lower Manhattan and the chief of police at the Bedford Veterans Administration Medical Center in Massachusetts. Both men have been held without bail since their arrest last week on charges that they plotted to kidnap, rape, torture and kill women, children and infants.

All three men were handcuffed and shackled Thursday when they pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors said Valle plotted to kidnap, torture, kill, cook and eat women. He was convicted last month of conspiracy charges and is awaiting sentencing. His lawyers said he was just fantasizing online. Vanhise is expected to use a similar defense, though Fontier said Vanhise also will show jurors that he repeatedly tried to make reports to local police when he came across anyone online who he believed was doing more than fantasizing.

Fontier said Vanhise also has the support of his wife. Valle's wife was a major government witness against him.

After Helping Launch Facebook Home, Charles Jolley Leaves To Join Battery Ventures As EIR To Work On His Next Mobile Startup

Charles Jolley, head of product for Facebook’s mobile platform and a key member of the Facebook Home team, who joined Facebook when it acquired his startup Strobe in November 2011, has left the company to work on his own startup, which he will do as entrepreneur-in-residence at Battery Ventures. The news was announced by Jolley himself in a post on Facebook last week. And today it was formally followed up by an announcement from Battery Ventures. In an interview with TechCrunch, Jolley said that he had been wanting to work on a new startup for a while already — he is a serial entrepreneur and his departure post on FB (included below) says it’s been something on his mind for more than two years. Jolley told us wanted to stay on with Facebook until Home was launched — working on the new lock screen and Chat Heads were his last projects there. Other notable recent departures include ad man Antonio Garcia-Martinez, director of product Blake Ross and designer Nicholas Felton. Jolley says he is still working out the new idea for the startup. For now, he says that he knows he wants it to focus on tablets and the “sweet spot” for tablet usage. “We did some primary research for Strobe for demand curves for tablets,” he said. “We found that that when you have a tablet 7 inches in size, and of good quality, when it falls to around $200 there will be an increase in demand.” He believes that a critical mass in that kind of tablet will “hit in the next year.” Already — he notes, citing data from Gartner — more than 25% of mobile users do not own a PC, and the rise of inexpensive but powerful tablets will continue driving that push (something analysts are also tracking). “People will buy them for their family and will carry them everywhere,” Jolley predicts. “Also usage changes dramatically when you don?t just have a tiny screen but a big one. It has impact on how you work and shop. My startup will be somewhere in that space.” Indeed, you can also see some of that always-on usage also played a role in how Facebook Home was conceived. “Chat Heads changes how you relate to your phone. You can be doing anything else but you can see get a message,” Jolley notes. “I think this could be a
