The bodies of dozens of men who appeared to be victims of a mass summary execution have been found in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo. A video posted on the internet by opposition activists shows the corpses in a small river. Jim Muir reports
叙利亚城市阿勒颇发生大规模临时处决,目前这数十名遇害者的尸体已经找到。反对派活动人士在网络上发布的视频展示一条小河中的尸体。吉姆•缪尔报道。
Strewn along the riverbed, covered in grey mud, laid body after body, some singly, some in groups or even heaps, they are all appeared to have been killed by a single shot to the head or the back of the neck and many of them clearly have their hands bound. Activists were quick to blame government forces for what is one of the most gruesome discoveries of the war so far. But the identities of many of the victims have yet to be established. The bodies were found in an area that’s controlled by the opposition. That led government officials to insist that the bodies were those of people who had been abducted by armed rebels and their gruesome deaths publicized by activists in order to blame the regime.
这些尸体散布了河床上,尸体一个一个堆起来,上面盖了一层灰泥,有的尸体单个躺着,有的成对或成堆躺着,显然都是头部或颈部后面一枪毙命的,很多显然死时双手捆绑着。活动人士不失时机地谴责政府军,称这是战争以来最惨无人道的行为。但对遇难者身份的确认尚未晚上,发现尸体的地方在反对派控制之下。这样政府官员坚称这些死者其实是武装叛军绑架来的,活动人士公布这些残忍场面是为了谴责当局。
President Obama has said the time has come for a commonsense, comprehensive reform of immigration laws in the United States. The president said he was encouraged by a plan outlined by a group of Democratic and Republican senators on Monday to offer a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants. He said there was a nationwide consensus that something must be done.
总统奥巴马说美国是时候进行合乎常理的对移民法的全面改革了。总统说,民主党和共和党议员周一制定了一项计划,为给1100名非法移民提供公民资格创造了条件,他说自己很受鼓舞。他说全国一致认为需要对此做出改变。
“Most Americans agree that it’s time to fix a system that’s been broken for way too long. Business leaders, faith leaders, labor leaders, law enforcement and leaders from both parties are coming together to say now is the time to find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America’s the land of opportunity.” President Obama
“大部分美国人都认为是时候改进这个糟糕已久的制度的时候了,商界领袖、信仰领袖、劳工领袖和执法部门和两党领袖一致表示是时候欢迎这些努力奋斗、充满希望的移民了,他们视美国为充满机会的地方。”
Israel has made an official protest to Argentina over its agreement to set up a joint investigation with Iran into the bombing in 1994 of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires. Argentine courts blamed Iran for the attack in which 85 people were killed but Iran has always denied involvement. Wyre Davies reports
阿根廷与伊朗达成协议,内容是成立联合调查小组,调查1994年布宜诺斯艾利斯一犹太社区的爆炸案,以色列对此向阿根廷正式表示抗议。阿根廷法院指责伊朗是这场造成85人死亡的袭击案的凶手,但伊朗一直否认涉入其中。Wyre Davies报道。
This week’s decision by Argentina and Iran to create a joint commission into the 1994 attack has exasperated and angered the Israeli government and Jewish groups in Argentina. Announcing the agreement, Argentina’s President Christina Fernandez de Kirchner said five independent judges would finally allow suspects to be questioned but an Israeli spokesman said it was tantamount to inviting a murderer to investigate his own killings.
本周阿根廷和伊朗决定成立联合委员会调查1994年的袭击案,这使以色列政府和阿根廷的犹太社区非常愤怒。阿根廷总统克里斯蒂娜•费尔南德斯•德基什内尔宣布了这个决定,他说5名独立法官将允许调查嫌犯,但以色列发言人说这相当于让凶手来调查自己的罪行。

The French government says that in the next few days it’d expel a number of foreign imams that it accuses of promoting Islamist radicalism. The interior minister Manuel Valls made the announcement at a conference in Brussels but gave no details.
