The most senior American military officer Admiral Mike Mullen says the militant Haqqani group, which has carried out a series of recent attacks in Afghanistan, is an arm of Pakistan's intelligence service. Admiral Mullen told US senators that Haqqani operatives planned and conducted the recent assault on the US embassy in Kabul with the support of the Pakistani intelligence. Pakistan has rejected the allegations. The BBC's Adam Brooks says the Pentagon has been talking tough.
美国最高级的军官麦克．马伦上将称，在阿富汗开展了一系列袭击的好战组织哈卡尼是巴基斯坦情报机构的左膀右臂。麦克．马伦上将告诉美国参议员，在巴基斯坦情报部门的支持下，哈卡尼组织计划并实施了最近对美国驻喀布尔大使馆的袭击。巴基斯坦否认了这些指控。BBC记者Adam Brooks称，五角大楼的谈话一直以来都很费劲。

In Admiral Mullen's testimony before Congress today, he says Pakistan has chosen to use violent extremism as an instrument of policy. Pakistan is using proxies, and that's a reference to these groups that have their roots back in the Afghan war against the Soviet Union. Pakistan still uses these groups, the Americans believe, as an instrument of policy in the region to increase their leverage, and America seems now to be tackling that brawl of Pakistani strategic vision head-on.
麦克．马伦上将今天在国会作证时称，巴基斯坦已经选择使用暴力极端主义作为政策工具。巴基斯坦使用了代理人，就像这些根源于阿富汗战争的组织用来对抗苏联时一样。美国认为，巴基斯坦在该地区仍然使用这些组织作为政策工具来增加他们的影响力，美国现在看来正在努力应对巴基斯坦战略的直接影响。

Libyan fighters from the National Transitional Council are celebrating in the desert town of Sabha, having taken control of the town from pro-Gaddafi forces there.

Two other Gaddafi strongholds - Bani Walid and Sirte - are still offering strong resistance.

Stock markets around the world have fallen sharply after warnings about the economic outlook. The leading European markets all fell about 5% with London's FTSE 100 index seeing its biggest one-day fall since March 2009. Shares in New York were down nearly 4% at one point. Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund, called for more political leadership. She said the stakes were high in the eurozone debt crisis.

The BBC has learnt that South African intelligence officers have foiled a third attempt to assassinate the former Rwandan chief of staff, Kayumba Nyamwasa. Two plots to kill the general failed last year after he fled to South Africa, having fallen out with the Rwandan President Paul Kagame. Sources close to General Nyamwasa say the latest plot involved shooting dead his entire family. Rwanda has denied being behind the plot.

Scientists at the Cern laboratory in Geneva say they've measured subatomic particles travelling faster than the speed of light - a result that appears to contradict one of the fundamental laws of physics. The speeds were detected in neutrinos fired from Geneva to another laboratory 700km away. The researchers admit they are baffled by the result and have asked others to independently verify their measurements. If confirmed, the discovery would overturn part of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity.
日内瓦欧洲核子研究委员会(Cern)实验室科学家称，他们测量到亚原子粒子的运行速度比光速更快——这结果似乎违背物理学的基本定律之一。该速度是从日内瓦发往700千米外的另外一个实验室的微中子中检测到的。研究人员承认，他们对该结果感到困惑，并要求其他人独立地检测他们的测量结果。如果得到证实，这一发现将推翻爱因斯坦的相对论的一部分内容。
