叙利亚政府军向西部城镇库萨发动进攻以期占领此地，叛军已在这里被困数周。政府称已杀死70名叛军武装人员。吉姆·缪尔报道。
Al-Qusair shook to a massive bombardment as government forces softened up rebel positions in preparation for a multi-prompt attack on the town. There are conflicting accounts about how much progress the army has made, but activists admitted that the rebel suffered very heavy casualties. They posted video on the internet showing chaotic scenes of what they said was a field hospital in al-Qusair. It was flooded with casualties, some of them clearly fighters, others, civilians who have been trapped in the encircled town.
政府进一步摧毁了叛军的阵地，并准备对该镇发起多重进攻，目前al-Qusair遭受了大规模轰击。至于军方取得多大进展，目前的说法并不一致，但活动人士承认叛军遭受了重大的人员伤亡。他们在网上发布的视频显示，al-Qusair一家阵地医院一片混乱。到处都是伤亡人员，有的显然是武装分子，也有被困在这个被困城镇的平民。
Tunisian police have used tear gas to disperse supporters of a hardline Islamist movement Ansar al-Sharia in a suburb of the capital Tunis. Reports say at least one protester has died. Earlier, thousands of soldiers and police stopped the group's supporters from holding their annual conference. Richard Hamilton reports.
在突尼斯首都突尼斯郊区，警方动用催泪弹驱赶强硬派安萨尔伊斯兰教义组织支持者。报道称至少一名抗议者死亡，早些时候，数千名士兵和警察阻止该组织支持者举行年度会议。理查德·汉密尔顿报道。
On Wednesday, Tunisia's governing Ennahda party said the congress was illegal as it has not been given permission. Ansar al-Sharia responded by saying it didn't need government permission to preach the word of Gods. The movement advocates an ultra-conservative form of Sunni Islam and does not recognize the authority of the states. Although it has some support from marginalized and unemployed youth, Ansar al-Sharia seems to have succeeded in uniting more moderate Muslim and secular parties against its hard line agenda.
周三，突尼斯执政的复兴运动党称该会议没有得到批准，因此是非法的。安萨尔伊斯兰教义组织对此反驳说，传播真主的说教无需得到政府的批准。该运动提倡建立极端保守形式的逊尼派，不认可政府的权威。尽管该组织得到边缘人群的失业年轻人的支持，但似乎却使得更多温和派穆斯林和世俗党派联合起来反对其强硬路线。
The Nigerian army says it's killed 40 fighters from the extremist group Boko Haram as it continues its offensive in the northeast of the country. From Abuja here's Will Ross.
尼日利亚军方目前仍在向该国东北部发动进攻，称已杀死极端组织博科圣地的40名武装分子。威尔·罗斯报道。
The Nigerian military says the militants are in disarray and are heading in large number towards Nigeria's borders. As a sign of how well-resourced Boko Haram may have become, the army says the rebels are trying to move scores of vehicles from the camps that have been attacked. It's not been possible to independently verify any of this information. Efforts have been made to close the borders, but they remain porous, and there are reports of many civilians crossing into Cameroon and Niger as they fear getting caught up in the offensive.
尼日利亚军方称该组织目前一片混乱，大部分人员现正朝尼日利亚边境赶去。原本资源丰富的博科圣地组织陷入如此境地，军方称该叛军目前正努力将数十辆汽车从遇袭的营地转移。目前尚无法独立确认任何有关信息，该国已努力试图关闭边境，但漏洞很多，有报道称很多平民正越境进入喀麦隆和尼日尔，他们担心在冲突中受害。
