The Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi has demanded from Britain an urgent explanation about a failed rescue mission in Nigeria, in which a kidnapped British engineer and his Italian colleague were killed. Alan Johnston reports from Italy.
意大利外长Giulio Terzi要求英国立即对尼日利亚失败营救一事作出解释,这次事故中,一名被绑架的英国工程师及其意大利同事被杀。Alan Johnston在意大利报道。
Britain argues that events were just moving too fast as the hostage drama reached a climax. It says it wasn't practical to consult the Italians before sending in the troops. But Italy's Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi seemed unimpressed with that line. He's continued to demand what he called "utmost clarity" from Britain with regards to what happened. But at the same time, the Italian news agency has reported sources in the prime minister's office here as saying that Italy doesn't want to escalate this dispute.
英国辩解道,绑架事件到达高潮时,事情进展得过快,派兵前咨询意大利并不现实。但意大利外长Giulio Terzi看来对此解释并不满意,他继续要求英国对所发生之事进行所谓的“完全澄清”。但同时,意大利新闻机构从总理办公室了解到,意大利并不希望争吵升级。
