反叛力量袭击打死19名阿富汗警察 (19 Afghan Policemen Killed in Insurgent Ambush)

阿富汗内政部说，疑为塔利班反叛分子的人在阿富汗南部的赫尔曼德省伏击了一个警察车队，打死19名警察。内政部发言人说，死者中包括该省一名高级警官。他说，在星期一晚间发生的攻击事件中有4名警察受伤，至少5名警察下落不明。这个警察车队在一条偏远山路上行驶的时候，遭到几十名激进分子的伏击。伏击引发的枪战持续了几个小时。

这位发言人说，袭击事件是“和平的敌人”干的。这是阿富汗官员在提到塔利班反政府分子时经常使用的术语。

星期一早些时候，反叛分子在附近的南部城市坎大哈进行了两起自杀式炸弹爆炸，其中一起爆炸造成3人丧生，包括一名前派系指挥官。

Afghanistan's interior ministry says suspected Taleban insurgents have ambushed a police convoy in southern Helmand province, killing 19 policemen. A ministry spokesman said a senior provincial police official was among the dead. He said four officers were wounded in the attack late Monday and at least five others are missing. The convoy was traveling along a remote mountain road when dozens of militants ambushed it, triggering a gunbattle that lasted for several hours.

The spokesman blamed the attack on "enemies of peace," a term frequently used by Afghan officials to refer to Taleban rebels.

Earlier Monday, insurgents carried out two suicide bombings in the nearby southern city of Kandahar. Three people, including a former factional commander, were killed in one of the attacks.

伊汽车自杀爆炸炸死四十多人 (Suicide Car Bombings Kill at least 40 in Iraq)

伊拉克警方说，星期二两起自杀式汽车炸弹爆炸造成至少40人丧生，几十人受伤。还有4天伊拉克就要就新宪法草案举行全民公投。在死伤人数最多的一起袭击中，自杀汽车炸弹杀手冲进西北部塔尔阿法尔镇一个热闹的市场，炸死至少30人，还有45人受伤。在巴格达，另外一名炸弹杀手在伊拉克一个军方检查站炸死至少7人。

美国和伊拉克官员一再警告说，主要是逊尼派阿拉伯人的反叛分子会加紧袭击，破坏星期六的宪法全民公投。什叶派穆斯林和库尔德族政治领导人一直在与逊尼派政治领袖进行最后时刻的谈判。逊尼派担心，他们在宪法议案提到的联邦体制中将伦为次要角色。

Iraqi police say at least 37 people have been killed and dozens wounded in two suicide car bombings Tuesday -- just four days before a national referendum on a new constitution. In the deadliest attack, at least 30 people were killed and 45 wounded by a suicide car bomber who struck a crowded market in the northwestern town of Tal Afar. In Baghdad, another bomber killed at least seven people at an Iraqi army checkpoint.

U.S. and Iraqi officials have repeatedly warned that insurgents -- many of whom are Sunni Arabs -- will step up attacks to undermine Saturday's constitutional referendum. Shi'ite and Kurdish political leaders have been pursuing last-minute negotiations with Sunni political leaders who are concerned that they will be sidelined under the constitution's proposed federal system.
