From NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.

The CEO of JP Morgan Chase says he was dead wrong when dismissed concerns about the banks trading. Speaking on ABC's Meet the Press, Jamie Dimon played down the concerns in April as a tempest in a teapot.
So first, I was dead wrong when I said that.I obviously didn't know, I'd never have said that. And one of the reasons it became public was because we wanted to say, ‘You know what, we told you something that was completely wrong a mere four weeks ago. And we took a $2 billion loss and we made it clear it could get worst before it gets better.

Last week, the bank disclosed $2 billion in trading losses over the past six weeks. Dimon says he supports giving the government the authority to take down a failing big bank.

Effects to put together in coalition government in Greece are starting to fall apart, if Greece's president fails to broker a coalition. Greek voters will have to return to the polls. Last week's parliamentary elections produced no clear winner. The political uncertainty has alarmed international creditors who have given Greece billions of Euros and bailout loans over the past two years.

In Afghanistan, a gunman has assassinated a member of that country's High Peace Council. NPR's Quil Lawrence says the former Taliban official was a key negotiator between the Afghan government and insurgents.

Arsala Rahmani, had been a minister during the Taliban regime, but later became a key advisor to the Afghan government on peace talks. Afghan authorities said Rahmani was stuck in traffic on his way to work when a man in the car beside him fired a single shot, killing him instantly. Last September, another assassin killed the leader of Afghan's High Peace Council. While the council had made scant progress toward negotiations. Both killings threatened to what little trust exists between national and regional powers involved in the talks. The Taliban denied involvement in the killing, but in previous statements, the group has threatened members of the peace council. Quil Lawrence, NPR News, Kabul.

Thirty-seven dismembered bodies have been found on a road near Mexico's industrial city of Monterrey. James Blears reports on the latest carnage in the country's intensifying drug war now in its sixth year.

Police reached the scene of carnage following a tip-off. They found the body parts in plastic bags. The region's currently torn by few between the gulf and the Zatus Drug Cartels. This latest massacre follows another mid-week in which 18 decapitated corpses were found near Mexico's second city, Guadalajara. Last August, the Casino fire in Monterrey started by the Zatus when owners refused to pay production money, killed 53 people. The worst single atrocity so far in Mexico's drug war. For NPR News, I'm James Blears, in Mexico City.
