Belgian killer's motivations remain mystery Top news: Belgian police have discovered a woman's body in a shed belonging to the man who attacked a marketplace in Liege on Tuesday with guns and hand grenades, killing four people and wounding more than 100 others before killing himself. The woman appears to have been a 45-year-old cleaner who worked for a neighbor, according to the BBC, and the attacker is thought to have used the warehouse to grow marijuana. What spurred the attacker -- Nordine Amrani -- to carry out his rampage remains unclear, however. On Wednesday, public prosecutor Daniele Reynders said there was no evidence linking Amrani to terrorist groups or extremist movements. Amrani had previously spent time in prison for drug and gun offenses, and was slated to answer police questioning about a sexual abuse case on Tuesday, suggesting, as the New York Times puts it, that his "attack was some sort of desperate final lashing out." The Times points out that the attack heightens "fears of a new wave of violence in Europe" following Anders Behring Breivik's killing spree in Norway in July and the deadly shooting of two Senegalese vendors in Florence on Tuesday. The mayor of Florence has declared Wednesday a day of mourning in the Italian city. Russia: The chairman of the ruling United Russia party has resigned as speaker of the lower house of parliament in an apparent effort to placate critics of the country's recent parliamentary elections, shortly after an editor and top executive at Kommersant Vlast were fired after the Russian news magazine published an issue looking at charges of electoral fraud by United Russia. Middle East Iran's intelligence chief has made a rare visit to Saudi Arabia to deny U.S. claims that Tehran tried to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, and to argue that America and Israel are trying to divide the two regional powers. The second round of Egypt's parliamentary election is underway, as the country's Islamist parties try to consolidate their initial gains. Jewish settlers attacked an Israeli Army base in the West Bank on Tuesday amid rumors that their settlements would be dismantled while arsonists set a Jerusalem mosque on fire on Wednesday, prompting calls in Israel for a crackdown on Jewish extremists. Europe Geneva-based scientists say they've found only hints of the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson. E-mails released Tuesday suggest James Murdoch may have known about widespread phone hacking at News of the World long before he said he did. In the wake of British Prime Minister David Cameron's veto of a new EU treaty, Britain's Conservatives have surpassed the Labour opposition in an opinion poll for the first time this year. Asia Papua New Guinea -- which experienced an earthquake on Wednesday -- is locked in a tense standoff between two rival prime ministers. South Korea is asking China to secure its Beijing embassy following a minor attack on the building, after a Chinese fisherman fatally stabbed a South Korean Coast Guard officer on Monday. Asif Ali Zardari's office says the Pakistani president will be discharged from a hospital in Dubai on Thursday but didn't confirm reports that he suffered a "mini-stroke." Africa A U.S. drone monitoring piracy off the East African coast has crashed at a Seychelles airport. The International Criminal Court has referred Malawi to the U.N. Security Council for not arresting Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir when he spent time in the country in October.
