Britain, Italy and Greece said they believed that seven foreign hostages had been killed in Nigeria, as reported by the militant group that took them captive. The radical group, Ansaru, seized the seven men last month from a construction site in northern Nigeria. He said the hostages, British, Italian, Greek and Lebanese, were killed because of a rescue attempt by British and Nigerian forces. But Italy denied this. The British foreign secretary, William Hague, condemned the killing in the strongest terms. "This is an unforgivable act of pure cold blooded murder, for which there can be no excuse or justification. The responsibility for this tragic outcome rests solely with the terrorists who took these people hostage." Correspondents say Ansaru is a splinter group from the Islamist sect, Boko Haram, which has for years been staging attacks in Nigeria.
英国、意大利和希腊称他们认为7名被劫持的外国人质已在尼日利亚被杀,根据劫持他们的武装组织的报道。激进组织“Ansaru”上月从尼日利亚北部的一处工地劫持了这七个人,该组织称之所以杀害英国、意大利、希腊和黎巴嫩的人质,是因为英国和尼日利亚军队试图营救他们。但意大利否认了这个说法,英国外长威廉·黑格严厉谴责这桩杀人事件。“这起冷血的谋杀案无可饶恕,没有任何理由或借口,这起惨案要完全归咎于劫持他们的恐怖分子。”记者称“Ansaru”是从伊斯兰博科圣地教派分裂出来的组织,几年来一直对尼日利亚进行袭击。
