24小时内发生的第二次爆炸也在内罗毕市中心,警方称是场手榴弹袭击。发生地人群密集,是通勤者等车回家的地方。英美大使馆都警告周末可能还会发生恐怖袭击,许多肯尼亚人认为发生在酒吧的首次爆炸,是索马里穆斯里阿尔沙巴布组织干的,是因肯尼亚部队打击这一与基地组织有关联的组织而报复的。 然而警方说,阿尔沙巴布不是袭击的主事者。
The United States has pulled its ambassador out of Syria because of concerns for his safety. The State Department said that Robert Ford had become the subject of an incitement campaign by the Syrian regime. In response, the Syrian ambassador to Washington has been called back to Damascus for consultations. Here's Kim Ghattas in Washington.
出于安全考虑,美国已将驻叙利亚大使撤回。国务院称,罗伯特·福特已成为叙利亚政权煽动行为反对的对象。对此,叙利亚驻华盛顿大使也被召回大马士革进行商议。Kim Ghattas在华盛顿报道。
The State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland insisted Mr Ford was not being withdrawn or recalled. She said he would be holding consultations in Washington about the situation in Syria and would return to Damascus. She said the Syrian authorities would then be responsible for his protection, and she called for an end to a campaign of incitement against Mr Ford in Syrian state media. The Syrian ambassador to the US, Imad Moustapha, has now also left Washington. The Syrian embassy said he was going home temporarily for consultations.
