The Afghan President Hamid Karzai has accused the United States of not cooperating over the investigation into the killing of 16 Afghan villagers by an American soldier last Sunday. President Karzai was speaking after meeting surviving relatives who'd cast doubt over the US version of what took place.
阿富汗总统卡尔扎伊指责美国不合作,没有参与调查上周美国士兵杀害16名阿富汗村民一案。幸存者亲属对美国对此案的说法持怀疑态度,总统卡尔扎伊与这些家属会面后发表了讲话。
"The story of the village elders is entirely different. They believe it is not possible for one person to do that. In four rooms, people were killed, and then they were all brought together in one room, and then put on fire. That one man cannot do."
“村里老年人的说法完全不一样,他们认为一个人是无法完成这些事的,四个房间的人被杀,然后被放到一个房间里并放火焚烧,一个人是无法完成的。”
