Officials Say U.S. Killed an Iraqi in Raid in Syria A raid into Syria on Sunday was carried out by American Special Operations forces who killed an Iraqi militant responsible for running weapons, money and foreign fighters across the border into Iraq, American officials said Monday. 星期一美国官方宣称，一场周日的叙利亚突击行动，美国特战队杀死了一个伊 拉克好战份子，据信他偷渡包括武器、金钱、以及外国战士到伊拉克， The helicopter-borne attack into Syria was by far the boldest by American commandos in the five years since the United States invaded Iraq and began to condemn Syria’s role in stoking the Iraqi insurgency. 直昇机载着美国特战队员进行突击任务是首次行动，从五年前攻击伊拉克并谴责资助 伊拉克境内暴动的叙利亚。 The timing was startling, not least because American officials praised Syria in recent months for its efforts to halt traffic across the border. 此次突击令人惊讶，至少近来美国官方曾称赞他们在边界工作的努力。 But in justifying the attack, American officials said the Bush administration was determined to operate under an expansive definition of self-defense that provided a rationale for strikes on militant targets in sovereign nations without those countries’ consent. 但此次攻击行动被认为是合法的，美国官员称布希政府的政策能扩展自卫的权限， 可以在另个主权国家打击好战组织，而不须该国的允许。 Together with a similar American commando raid into Pakistan more than seven weeks ago, the operation on Sunday appeared to reflect an intensifying effort by the Bush administration to find a way during its waning months to attack militants even beyond the borders of Iraq and Afghanistan, where the United States is at war. 早在七周前，美国特战队就曾突击巴基斯坦。展现布希政权就算在待接位期间， 依然能在美国发动战争的伊拉克及阿富汗境外发动攻击。 Administration officials declined to say whether the emerging application of self-defense could lead to strikes against camps inside Iran that have been used to train Shiite “special groups” that have fought with the American military and Iraqi security forces. 官员拒绝表示此一自卫权力的扩张是否能付在伊朗境内用来训练对抗美军及 伊拉克军方的「特殊集团」。 American officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the raid said the mission had been mounted rapidly over the weekend on orders from the Central Intelligence Agency when the location of the man suspected of leading an insurgent cell, an Iraqi known as Abu Ghadiya, was confirmed. About two dozen American commandos in specially equipped Black Hawk helicopters swooped into the village of Sukkariyah, near the Iraqi border, just before 5 p.m., and fought a brief gun battle with several militants, including Abu Ghadiya, the officials said. 一位匿名官员表示，此次行动始於周末来自中情局的情报，证实谋叛份子为 伊拉克的Abu Ghadiya。 24名特战队员搭乘黑鹰直昇机对位於伊拉克边界的Sukkariyah村落展开突击， 官员表示，大概在下午五点左右，与包括了Abu Ghadiya等数名好战份子有短时间 的枪战。 It was unclear whether Abu Ghadiya died near his tent on the battlefield or after he was taken into American custody, one senior American official said. 一位高级官员表示，还不知道Abu Ghadiya是否死於枪战或被美军保管。 One United States official described Abu Ghadiya as Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia’ s “most prominent” smuggler of foreign operatives crossing the Syrian border into Iraq, and in February the Treasury Department named him as one of four major figures in that group living in Syria. 官员指称Abu Ghadiya对在美索不达米雅的基地组织来说， 作为在伊叙边界偷渡外国物资是「特别显眼」的存在。 而在二月任命他为在叙利亚中的四名主要干部之一。 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/28/world/middleeast /28syria.html?_r=1&ref=world&oref=slogin http://0rz.tw/3b4XP 纽时 烦请注意附上原稿来源 -- 身为台湾人，不可不知天下事 立足台湾，放眼世界 国际事务版 国家研究院 政治, 文学, 学术 PoliticMan 研究 Σ政党/政治人物研究院 IA 政治 ◎IA国际事务版 --
