BERLIN (AP) - A film with an amateur Roma cast that takes its cue from a 2008-9 series of deadly attacks on Roma, or Gypsies, in Hungary has made its debut at the Berlin film festival. Director Bence Fliegauf said Thursday he hopes that "Just the Wind," one of 18 movies competing for the festival's top Golden Bear award, "is going to make a difference."
Roma, who make up an estimated 5-8 percent of Hungary's 10 million people, battle deep prejudice and have been deeply affected by the loss of guaranteed jobs after the end of communism over 20 years ago.
Fliegauf says he hopes that tackling the problem in a film will do something for the image of Hungary." "Just the Wind," depicts the life of a Roma family against the quietly menacing backdrop of a series of murders in their neighborhood.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Police say a third Iranian suspect sought after explosive blasts in Bangkok has been arrested in Malaysia.
The statement from Malaysian federal police said Masoud Sedaghatzadeh was being investigated for terrorism-related activities linked to the blasts in Thailand's capital a day earlier.
Spokesman Ramli Yoosuf said police could not give further details about where or how he had been arrested Wednesday or whether Sedaghatzadeh would be extradited. Thailand says the three men tried to flee when explosives detonated by mistake in a home they rented.
One man was seriously wounded and another was arrested in Bangkok. Israel says the arrests and attacks elsewhere against its diplomats were evidence of covert Iranian plots.
