叙利亚政府称以色列飞机轰炸了首都大马士革西北部一处军事研究基地。有报道称以色列袭击了一支正超黎巴嫩边境行进的军事使团，叙利亚国家电视台对此否认。以色列对此尚未进行官方证实。吉姆·缪尔报道。
The official Syrian account came in a military communiqué carried on the state media. It said that Israeli jets penetrated Syrian airspace in the early hours of the morning, flying fast below radar level from Mount Hermon in the south. It said the jets bombed what it described as a defence research facility at Jamraya northwest of the capital, causing damage and destruction to the centre as well as killing two workers and injuring five others. The Syrian communiqué linked the attack to the current crisis inside the country. It said what it called armed terrorist gangs had tried and failed repeatedly in recent months to attack and capture the same facility.
叙利亚国家媒体公布军事公报证实宣布该消息，称以色列飞机凌 晨入侵叙利亚领空， 远远低于南部黑门山雷达液位计。公报称这架飞机轰炸了首都西北部Jamraya的一处国防研究基地，不仅杀死两名员工并伤及5人，还破坏了这个基地。这份 公报将这次袭击与叙利亚国内的危机联系起来，称所谓的武装恐怖团伙最近数月多次试图袭击并攻下这处基地，但都以失败告终。
International donors at a United Nations conference in Kuwait have pledged more than a target of $1.5bn in humanitarian aid for those affected by the Syrian conflict. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was pleased that the goal of the meeting had been met. Meanwhile, the head of Syria’s main opposition alliance, the National Coalition, has said that he’s ready for direct discussions with representatives of the Syrian government under certain conditions. A BBC correspondent says that while significant, this does not necessarily mean the Syrian opposition as a whole is ready for negotiations.
参加联合国在科威特会议的国际捐赠方承诺向遭受叙利亚冲突的难民提供价 值15亿美元的人道主义援助。联合国秘书长潘基文说很高兴这次会议能实现预定目标。同时，叙利亚反对派联盟全国联盟主席说他准备与叙利亚政府代表直接对 话，当然要有一定条件。BBC记者说尽管这个消息意义重大，但未必意味着整个叙利亚反对派准备进行协商。
The French military says its troops have secured the town of Kidal in northern Mali. Earlier the French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said a sandstorm had prevented the troops from leaving the airport. Thomas Fessy reports.
法国军方称其部队攻下马里北部基达尔镇，早些时候，法国国防部长勒德里安说部队曾因沙尘暴无法离开机场。Thomas Fessy报道。
Kidal, near the border with Algeria, was home of the Malian Islamist group Ansar Dine, whose leader Iyad Ag Ghaly is believed to be hiding with al-Qaeda fighters in the surrounding mountains. The recapture of this rebel stronghold marks the end of the first phase in this military intervention which consisted of freeing the population from Islamist rule. French-led forces will now have to aim at driving the rebels out of their desert hideout.
基达尔位于与阿尔及利亚接壤处，是马里伊斯兰组织“伊斯兰后卫”的总部所在地，据悉其领 袖伊亚迪·阿扎利同基地组织武装分子一起藏在周围山上。这次军事干预不断将人们从伊斯兰统治之下解放出来，重夺这个叛军基地标志着这次干预第一阶段的结 束。法国领导下的部队现在的目标是将起义军从沙漠藏身处赶走。
The British Prime Minister David Cameron has begun a visit to Algeria promising closer security cooperation with the region in the wake of the hostage crisis that claimed nearly 40 lives—six of them British. Discussions are expected to centre on boosting security at gas plants like the one attacked by militants two weeks ago. Tighter border security and limiting the flow of weapons from Libya are also likely to be discussed. Mr Cameron said his aim was to help Algeria protect itself against the threat from militants linked to al-Qaeda.
英国首相戴维·卡梅隆开始访问阿尔及利亚，此前近40人在人质危机丧生，其中 6人为英国人，因此卡梅隆承诺同该地区加强安全合作。谈论的话题可能是加强气田的安全，比如一周前遭受武装分子袭击的气田。加强边境安全和限制武器从利比 亚流入可能也是议题之一。卡梅隆说他希望帮助阿尔及利亚加强自我保护，以免受与基地组织有关的武装分子的威胁。
"What I want to do is work with the Algerian government and with other governments in the region to make sure that we do everything we can to combat terrorism in a way that is both tough and intelligent and uses everything we have at our disposal, which will make them safer, make us safer, make the world safer.”
“我希望能与阿尔及利亚及该地区的其他国家政府一起合作，尽一切可能，无论是强硬姿势，还是通过灵巧的手段，确保尽一切力量来打击恐怖主义。从而使该地区和全世界能更安全。”
