自18个月前叙利亚冲突开始以来,土耳其首次向叙利亚发射大炮。就在此前,从叙利亚境内发射过来的追击炮杀死了5名土耳其公民。詹姆斯•雷诺兹在土耳其与叙利亚边境报道。
It is not immediately clear what Turkey was intending to hit. It comes in response to the killing earlier in the day of five Turkish civilians in the town of Akcakale. A mother and three of her children were among the dead when a shell landed. Over the past year, the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly supported the Syrian opposition. But at the same time, Mr. Erdogan has not wanted his country to fight Syria directly, but the killing of Turkish civilians along the border may have made him reevaluate it that policy.

The French authorities were criticized for failing to prevent Mohamed Merah's attacks. His links with foreign Islamists were known to the intelligence services as earlier as 2009. The government says the threat is still at a very high level, and this new policy is essential to combating the threat. By the new year, terrorism related crimes committed abroad will be punishable here in France. French citizens found to be attending training camps overseas could face up to 10 years in prison. And the changes will also allow the authorities to monitor the internet and telecommunications data of suspects thought to be running extremists' websites.
法国当局因未能阻止默罕默德•梅拉赫袭击案而遭受指责,早在2009年,情报部门就得知梅拉赫与外国伊斯兰分子有关联。政府称此类威胁仍很严重,新政策将对遏制威胁起到重大作用。但明年,在国外犯下的恐怖有关犯罪将在法国进行惩治。凡是参加国外培训营的法国公民,一经发现将面临10年监禁的惩罚。对于怀疑是极端分子的网站,新法将允许当局监督网络和电信数据。
