Sunni militants in Iraq have mounted an assault on the country's largest oil refinery in Baiji. There are conflicting reports over the attack as Richard Galpin reports from Baghdad.
伊拉克逊尼派武装分子向在Baiji的该国最大炼油厂发动袭击,关于该袭击的报道相互冲突,理查德•加尔潘在巴格达报道。
The attack began in the early hours of the morning with the militants reportedly firing mortars and machine guns. A source told the BBC that an army helicopter responded to the attack firing rockets, one of which hit a large oil storage tank setting it on fire. He said the militants were now in control of the area. The spokesman for the oil ministry in Baghdad said he did not know who controlled the refinery, adding if it were to close down, it would affect power supplies in the country. But senior security sources insist the refinery is still fully under their control and that they had killed many militants in the fighting there.
袭击发生在当天凌晨,据悉武装分子用追击炮和机枪袭击。有消息人士告诉BBC有一架军用飞机发射火箭予以反击,一枚火箭击中了储油箱并使之着火。他说武装分子现在控制了该地区,巴格达石油部发言人称尚不清楚谁控制的炼油厂,称如果炼油厂被关闭,将影响该国的电力供应。但高级安全部门的消息人士坚称仍在牢牢控制炼油厂,称已经在战斗中杀死了很多武装分子。
Elsewhere, the Iraqi security forces have launched limited air strikes as they fought Sunni militants for control of the northern approaches to Baghdad.

In the last hour, Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has appealed to Iraqis to unite against Sunni militants who he said were killing hundreds of people and destroying the country. He insisted the people of Iraq would not be defeated.
在刚刚过去的一小时,伊拉克总理努里•马利基呼吁伊拉克人团结起来对付逊尼派武装分子,他说这些武装分子杀死了数百人,正在摧毁这个国家。他坚称伊拉克人民是不会屈服的。
They are in a country that actually is trying, you know, on defeating sectarianism and marginalization. The Iraq is united with its Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds and Arabs.

The Iranian president has said that Tehran will not hesitate to protect Shiite shrines in Iraq. Sebastian Usher reports.
伊朗总统称德黑兰将毫不犹豫保护在伊拉克的什叶派清真寺,塞巴斯蒂安•亚瑟报道。
This is the clearest sign so far that Iran is prepared to take military action in Iraq to stop the advance of Sunni Jihadists if they threatened Shiite and by extension Iranian interests there. Tehran is already providing military strategy and advice to the Shiite-led government in Baghdad. President Rouhani's pledge to protect the holy Shiite shrines in Iraq is at least partly a response to threats by the Jihadist group ISIS to destroy those sites. Any such attacks could trigger all out civil war with Iraqi Shiites. But other Sunni militants in Iraq have so far distanced themselves from the Jihadists' most inflammatory rhetoric.
这是目前为止最清晰的信号,表明一旦武装分子威胁到什叶派及伊朗在该国的利益,伊朗准备在伊拉克境内采取军事行动,来阻止逊尼派圣战分子的前进。德黑兰已经向巴格达什叶派领导的政府提供军事战略和建议。总统鲁哈尼承诺保护在伊拉克的什叶派神殿,这是对圣战组织ISIS威胁要摧毁这些圣殿的部分反应。任何此种袭击都会引发与伊拉克什叶派的全面内战,但伊拉克其他逊尼派武装分子到目前为止仍与圣战分子最具煽动性的言论保持距离。

But the military and police trucks that brought them in have made 4 return trips so far, ferrying them in, and all of them are young men or children, no women among them. Their injuries are indescribable, one had his hand blown off. It was so all so horrific.
