以色列著名音乐家在加沙地带举办音乐会
Hundreds of Palestinians, many of them schoolchildren, packed into a hall in Gaza for a rare classical concert led by the Israeli-Argentine conductor Daniel Barenboim. A collection of musicians from across Europe, known as the Orchestra for Gaza, performed a peace concert, opening with a work by Mozart. It was the first time that Daniel Barenboim, a campaigner for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, had visited the territory.

美中情局长指挥击毙本拉登行动 海豹突击队负责执行
The American intelligence agency, the CIA, has said the United States did not inform Pakistan about the operation to capture Osama Bin Laden because it feared the Pakistani authorities would alert him. Pakistan has described the US raid on Sunday in Abbottabad as an "unauthorised unilateral action" and said it should not be taken as a rule. From Washington, here's Mark Mardell.
美国中央情报局表示,美国在执行抓捕本拉登的军事行动前没有告知巴基斯坦相关的信息,因为美国担心巴基斯坦当局会给本拉登发出警告。巴基斯坦称,美国于上周日在阿伯塔巴德(Abbottabad)发动的突袭行动是未经授权的单方面行动,不应该作为惯例。华盛顿,Mark Mardell报道。
Leon Panetta, the head of the CIA, has told Time magazine it was decided that any effort to work with the Pakistanis could jeopardise the mission. He also reveals that the final decision to opt for a commando raid rather than firing cruise missiles at the compound from the air was only taken last Thursday. Panetta says that President Obama was in the end swayed by the number of dead a cruise missile attack would leave and the risk of hitting other homes. So the CIA chief told the Navy Seal team "Go in there, get Bin Laden, and if Bin Laden isn't there, get the hell out."
