An Italian man was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend from a Genoa, Italy pub and taking her to his home where he forced her to do his dishes and iron his clothes.

The woman was dragged out of the bar by her 43-year-old ex-boyfriend, shoved into a car and taken to his home where she was made to iron his clothes and wash his dishes.

Police arrived at the man's house after being tipped from a friend who was at the pub.

The man was arrested on kidnapping charges.

MODESTO, Calif. A group of suspected gangsters apologized for stabbing the wrong person after a home invasion, a woman who lives at the house said.

The attack happened Monday morning inside a house on Whitmore Avenue.

Police said a 32-year-old man was beaten and stabbed inside the living room.

The woman, who spoke to KCRA but did not want to be identified, said she came running down the stairs with a stick in her hand just after 6 a.m. when she heard a commotion.

The men tried to make amends before leaving, she said.

"The one guy that stabbed him, he says, ''You know what, I''m sorry, ma''am.'' And he hugs me and said ''Please, we made a mistake,''" the woman said.

The woman said the men still offered to give him a ride to the hospital and to his mother''s home, but the man refused because he was so scared.

Sgt. Craig Gundlach said the men will face several felony charges.

"No, their apology does not alleviate any crimes they committed," said Gundlach.

Police said the victim, whose name will not be released, is recovering at a local hospital.

A network administrator has locked up a multimillion dollar computer system for San Francisco that handles sensitive data and is refusing to give police the password, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Monday.

The employee, 43-year-old Terry Childs, was arrested Sunday. He gave some passwords to police, which did not work, and refused to reveal the real code, the paper reported.

The new FiberWAN (Wide Area Network) handles city payroll files, jail bookings, law enforcement documents and official e-mail for San Francisco. The network is functioning but administrators have little or no access.

Childs, who remains in custody, is accused of improperly tampering with computer systems and causing a denial of service, said Kamala Harris, San Francisco's district attorney, on Monday afternoon.

"The bail has been set at $5 million, and the exposure in this case if he were convicted on all counts would be seven years in prison," Harris said.

Harris said it's unknown why Childs tampered with the system. The Chronicle, however, reported that Childs was disciplined recently for poor performance. Childs worked in the Department of Technology for San Francisco, making close to US$150,000 a year, the paper reported.

City officials told the paper that Childs may have caused millions in damage while also rigging the network so that other third parties could monitor traffic, posing a huge data security risk. He is also alleged to have installed a tracing system to monitor communications related to his personnel case.

The password has to be either God, Love, (I forget the last one)... or my favorite "Password".
