The commander whose forces captured Muammar Gaddafi has said he tried to save the former Libyan leader's life so that he could stand trial. Omran al-Oweib spoke to Gabriel Gatehouse.

抓获穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲的部队指挥官声称曾试图救活这位利比亚前领导人，这样他可以出庭审判。欧威伯接受了BBC记者Gabriel Gatehouse的采访。

Omran al-Oweib described in forensic detail the fierce battle that took place around that drainage pipe on the outskirts of Sirte where Muammar Gaddafi was found on Thursday. He said the colonel took just 10 steps after being dragged from his hiding place before falling injured to the ground. Some anti-Gaddafi fighters had wanted to kill the former dictator then and there, he admitted, but he'd pleaded with them not to. He said it was impossible to tell who had fired the bullet that ultimately killed the former dictator.

欧威伯详细讲述了这场发生在苏尔特郊外下水管附近的激烈战斗，穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲周二就在此处被发现。他说，卡扎菲被人从藏身之处拖了出去，刚走了十步远，就受伤倒地。他承认，一些反卡扎菲战士想在此时此地杀死这位前独裁者，但他请求他们别杀他。根本不可能得知是谁射出致命的那颗子弹。

Libya's National Transitional Council has told the BBC Colonel Gaddafi's body will be handed over soon to representatives of his family and tribe. The foreign affairs spokesman for the Transitional Council, Ahmed Gebreel, says there will be an inquiry into the death.

利比亚全国过渡委员会告诉BBC，卡扎菲上校的尸体将很快交给其家族和部落的代表人。过渡委员会外事发言人Ahmed Gebreel说，将对卡扎菲的死因进行调查。

"It's unfortunate that Gaddafi was killed because I think most of the Libyans wanted to see Gaddafi, or wanted Gaddafi to face a fair trial on all the crimes he had committed against the Libyan people. And I must say the NTC is conducting an investigation, and an official position will be released very soon."

“很不幸的是卡扎菲被杀了，我想大多利比亚人想看到卡扎菲，或希望卡扎菲就他对利比亚人民所犯的全部罪行接受审判。我必须说，NTC正在进行调查，官方立场将会很快公布。”

Libya's de facto Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril has said the country's first post-Gaddafi election will be held within a maximum of eight months. Speaking during a visit to Jordan, Mr Jibril said voters would elect a national congress to draft a constitution; this would then be put to a referendum; the congress would also form an interim government until the first presidential elections were held. Libya's interim authorities say they will announce their country's full liberation on Sunday.

哈茂德·贾布里勒实际上是利比亚总理，他说，本国后卡扎菲时代的选举将最迟在八个月内举行。贾布里勒访问约旦时说，选民将选出国民大会，并草拟宪法，将对此进行公民投票，国民大会将组建临时政府来执政，直到首届总统选举开始为止。利比亚过渡当局声称，他们将于周日宣布国家的全面解放。

European Union finance ministers in Brussels have taken a step towards stabilising the eurozone debt crisis. Banks in the eurozone will have to raise more capital to protect themselves against market turmoil. However, there's still no agreement on expanding the wider eurozone bailout fund for indebted countries. Our economics correspondent Andrew Walker reports from Brussels.

布鲁塞尔欧盟财长会议已就稳定欧元区债务危机采取行动，欧元区银行将筹集更多资金以应对市场混乱。然而，在为负债国家扩大欧元区救市资金方面尚未达成一致，BBC经济记者安德鲁·沃克在布鲁塞尔报道。

The general direction the negotiations are heading is reasonably clear, but tying down the detail is proving very difficult. The hardest is the question of how to make the eurozone's bailout fund effective enough to help Spain and Italy, the two big economies with debt problems, if they need it. Banks are likely to be pressed to accept more losses on what they are owed by Greece. They'll also have to raise more capital - a financial buffer to help them survive if they run into further problems.

协商达成的大致方向已经很明确，而确定细节却很困难。最难的问题是，如果西班牙和意大利需要援助的话，如何使欧元区救市资金高效率地援助两国，这两大经济体都有债务危机。各银行可能被迫承受希腊欠债引起的更多损失，也必须筹集更多资金作为财政缓冲，如果遭遇进一步困难，将有能力生存下去。

These ideas are all interlinked. Greece is central. It's widely thought it can't pay all its debts. If it is to have the burden eased, financial markets will worry whether other countries will end up in the same situation, forcing financial institutions to take further losses.

所有这些概念都相互关联，希腊是问题的核心，普遍认为希腊难以偿清全部债务。如果减轻希腊的负担，金融市场将担心其他国家是都也会如此收尾，即迫使金融机构承受更多损失。
