Bridget Kendall reports. 還稱至少18名武裝分子死亡，布麗姬特·肯德爾報(bào)道。 [00:22.31]It’s hardly surprising that the Algerian authorities moved so swiftly against the hostage takers without consulting other governments. 阿爾及利亞當(dāng)局在沒有通報(bào)其他國(guó)家政府的情況下就迅速采取行動(dòng)對(duì)付人質(zhì)，這一點(diǎn)都不出人意料。 [00:30.57]Their military forces are battle-hardened with the experience of fighting an Islamist insurgency during a long and bloody civil war in the 1990s. 該國(guó)軍隊(duì)在20世紀(jì)90年代長(zhǎng)期的血腥內(nèi)戰(zhàn)中歷經(jīng)沙場(chǎng)，積累了與伊斯蘭叛亂者作戰(zhàn)的豐富經(jīng)驗(yàn)。 [00:39.57]And the Algerian government claims it had no alternative—it had to launch an attack to stop the kidnappers fleeing into the desert with their captives. 阿爾及利亞政府聲稱別無選擇，必須發(fā)動(dòng)攻勢(shì)阻止綁架者帶著人質(zhì)進(jìn)入沙漠。 [00:48.56]Now the question is whether this crisis can be ended peacefully without endangering more hostages. 目前的問題是，是否能在不危及更多人質(zhì)的前提下結(jié)束這場(chǎng)危機(jī)。 [00:55.37]The United States government has said it does not negotiate with terrorists following reports that militants had offered to trade two Americans held hostage in Algeria for two high-profile prisoners convicted of terrorist offences in the US. 美國(guó)政府稱并未與恐怖主義者進(jìn)行協(xié)商，此前有報(bào)道稱，武裝分子提出以兩名在阿爾及利亞被劫持的美國(guó)人，來交換兩名引人注目的囚犯，這兩人因恐怖行徑獲罪，目前在美國(guó)囚禁。 [01:09.65]Officials in Mali say Islamist militants have left the town of Diabaly which they seized on Monday following the French aerial bombardment of the town. 馬里官員稱，由于法國(guó)的空襲，伊斯蘭武裝分子已離開周一被他們攻下的Diabaly鎮(zhèn)。 [01:19.47]On Thursday the Malian army recaptured the town of Konna.
