A gunman dressed in an Afghan army uniform opened fire on allied troops, killing a US army two-star major general and wounding 15 coalition troops, including a German brigadier general and two Afghan generals.
一名身穿阿富汗軍服的槍手向聯(lián)軍開火,導(dǎo)致一名美軍二星少將遇襲身亡,另還有15名士兵受傷,包括一名德國(guó)軍隊(duì)準(zhǔn)將和兩名阿富汗將軍。
The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) confirmed in a statement, that the incident occurred on Tuesday at The Marshal Fahim National Defense University in Kabul City, Afghanistan.
國(guó)際安全援助部隊(duì)在一則聲明中確認(rèn),周二的這場(chǎng)襲擊發(fā)生在阿富汗喀布爾法希姆元帥國(guó)防大學(xué)。
“At this time, ISAF can confirm one ISAF service member was killed. This incident is under investigation,” the statement reads. “It is ISAF policy to defer casualty identification to the relevant national authorities,” it added.
聲明寫道:“國(guó)際安全援助部隊(duì)目前確認(rèn)一名部隊(duì)服役人員已經(jīng)身亡。事件正在調(diào)查中。根據(jù)部隊(duì)政策,傷亡人員確認(rèn)工作將交由相關(guān)國(guó)家政府進(jìn)行?!?/div>
The killed American officer has eventually been identified by the US military as Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, a 34-year veteran, who was the deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan in Kabul.
美國(guó)軍方而后確認(rèn)在襲擊中喪生的美國(guó)軍官是軍齡34歲的老兵少將哈羅德·J·格林。他在喀布爾擔(dān)任阿富汗聯(lián)合安保過渡指揮部副指揮官。
Greene is the highest-ranking US officer to die in combat since the 1970 Vietnam War.
格林是自1970年越戰(zhàn)之后陣亡的最高級(jí)別美國(guó)軍官。
There was no indication that the American major general was specifically targeted, a US official told AP on condition of anonymity. A preliminary investigation suggests the Afghan gunman was inside a building and fired indiscriminately from a window at the people gathered outside.
一名匿名美國(guó)官員向美國(guó)聯(lián)合通訊社表示,沒有跡象表明襲擊針對(duì)該名美國(guó)軍官。初步調(diào)查顯示,阿富汗槍手當(dāng)時(shí)藏在一棟大樓中通過窗戶向外掃射。
The Taliban hailed the militant who carried out the shooting as a “hero,” but did not claim responsibility for the attack.
塔利班將暗殺者稱為“英雄”,但并未宣稱對(duì)此事負(fù)責(zé)。
