An Algerian military operation to free a group of foreign hostages from their Islamists captors at a gas plant is reported to be over. The Algerian authorities have confirmed that hostages have been killed, as well as some of the militants1. Reports suggest the facilities are still being searched. At least four foreign hostages have been freed, while 600 Algerian workers have also reached safety. Sebastian Usher2 reports.
据悉，阿尔及利亚军队解救在气田被伊斯兰武装分子绑架外国人的行动已告结束。阿尔及利亚当局声称人质和部分武装分子已被杀害，报道称目前仍在搜查气田。至少4名外国人质获释，600名阿尔及利亚工人也已安全。 Sebastian Usher报道。
The Algerian Communication Minister broke his government silence with the concession3 that its military operation has led to foreign hostages being killed or wounded but give no figures. He said his country was forced to act when the militants refused to negotiate. It's still unclear how many hostages may have died or made it to safety. Nationals from several countries are among the hostages. The British Prime Minister David Cameron has said he wasn't made aware of the military operation before it happened, and would have preferred to have been informed beforehand.
阿尔及利亚交通部长一改政府沉默的做法，承认其军事行动导致外国人质被杀或受伤，但并未给出具体数字。他说由于武装分子拒绝协商，政府被迫采取行动。尚不清楚多少人质被杀或业已安全。人质中还有几个国家的公民。英国首相戴维·卡梅隆称自己在军事行动之前并不知晓，他认为应该提前得到消息。
One of the hostages who's made it to safety is Stephen McFaul. He's 36 and from Belfast within Algerian on his Irish passport. His mother Marie says she won't let him work in Algerian again. "I'm delighted, I just can't describe how happy I am. I didn't think we'd have got this so soon, you know, we always hope. Look at the eyes we had it. So we're just so happy he is coming back to us, will not let him to go back again. Look at we all sat and next going to talk to him and be more tears in talk, I'm sure."
36岁的斯蒂芬·麦克福尔是一名幸存人质，他来自贝尔法斯特，在阿尔及利亚持爱尔兰护照。他的母亲玛丽说不会再让他在阿尔及利亚工作了，“我很高兴，简直无法形容，根本没想到会这么快获救，我们一直希望能获救。看看我们的眼睛哭得，我们很高兴他能回来，再也不会让他出去了。我们坐在一起跟他谈话，谈着哭着。”
Heavy fighting has been continued in Mali where French troops have joined the Malian army in trying to halt a rapid advance by Islamist forces. French forces are continuing to bombard the town of Diabaly which was captured earlier this week. Malian soldiers are trying to drive Islamist fighters from Konna, whose capture prompted the French intervention4. The French Defense5 Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the number of French military personnel in Mali had now reached 1400, more than a thousand more are still to be deployed6. Several West African countries have also agreed to send troops.
马里激烈的战斗仍在继续，这里法国军队与马里军队联合起来试图阻止伊斯兰军队的快速进攻。法国军队仍在炮轰本周早些时候被占领的戴巴利镇，马里士兵企图将伊斯兰武装分子赶出康纳，正是康纳沦陷促使法国开始涉入其中。法国国防部长勒德里昂说目前马里已有1400名军事人员，未来将派来另外1000多名。西非几个国家也同意派兵。
The United States has officially recognized the Somali government in Mogadishu for the first time in 20 years. Speaking in Washington after meeting the Somali president, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described the day as a milestone7. Jane O'Brien has sent this report from Washington.

Somalia's step towards democracy and stability marks a rare success in the region that increasingly worries the US. African Union forces backed by the US have driven al-Qaeda linked insurgents8 out of the capital Mogadishu and most other cities. The US remains9 Somalia's biggest donor10 of emergency aid and development funds, but its recognition of the government could open the door to greater international support.
在这个日益令美国担忧的地区，索马里向民主和稳定迈进标志着罕见的成功。在美国的支持下，非盟军队将与基地组织有关联的叛军赶出摩加迪沙等其他城市。美国仍是索马里应急援助的最大捐助国，但美国承认其政府后，可以帮助索马里获得更多的国际援助。
