rt 美駐伊大使館附近遭受火箭彈襲擊_風聞

消息來源：RT news

At least one rocket fell near Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses the US Embassy and other diplomatic compounds in Iraq, according to reports, possibly marking the first attack on the facility in weeks.

至少一枚火箭彈落在了巴格達重兵把守的綠區，該地也是美過駐伊拉克大使館等其他外交機構的駐地。據報告，本次襲擊可能是幾周來第一次瞄準該區域的襲擊。

The explosion set off sirens at the US Embassy compound on Tuesday morning, local media said. The rocket was fired from an eastern district of Baghdad and hit an empty building inside the zone, Reuters reported, citing the Iraqi military. No casualties have been reported in the incident.

週二早晨的爆炸拉響了美使館的警笛。路透社援引當地軍方報道，火箭彈從巴格達東部地區發射，擊中了綠區內一空建築，沒有人員傷亡的報告。

Though the sprawling Green Zone complex and the surrounding area have been a frequent target for rocket strikes over the years – at least 27 so far in 2020 alone – such incidents have decreased in recent weeks, with the last one coming on May 6 near the Baghdad International Airport, located some 25 kilometers west of the Green Zone. If confirmed, Tuesday’s strike would also come as the first since the appointment of Iraq’s new Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, a former intelligence chief.

儘管綠區內建築雜亂無章，周圍地區也常年遭受火箭彈襲擊，僅2020年就發生了至少27起，但是該類襲擊近幾周呈下降趨勢。上一次此類事件發生在5月6日，綠區西部25公里處，巴格達國際機場。如果得到證實，此次也是伊拉克現任總理，前情報機構主管穆斯塔法·卡迪米上任以來發生的首次襲擊。

A retired journalist who spent years in exile in the UK during the reign of Saddam Hussein, Kadhimi’s appointment ended months of political deadlock in Iraq following the resignation of Adel Abdul Mahdi. While his rise was met with excitement in Washington – with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo voicing support for his “bold agenda” – the PM has been controversial for some of the more Iran-aligned factions in Iraqi politics. Some militia groups insist he should be “behind bars,” accusing him of approving the US assassination of Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Solemani in January, which triggered widespread protests in Iraq, including calls to expel American troops from the country.

一位在薩達姆·侯賽因統治期間流亡英國的退休記者説道，卡迪米的上任打破了伊拉克自阿迪勒·阿卜杜勒-邁赫迪辭職後陷入的數月以來的政治僵局。雖然他的崛起令華盛頓興奮——美國國務卿邁克·蓬佩奧發聲支持他的"大膽議程"，但總理在有關伊拉克的政策上與一些傾伊朗結盟派卻一直存在爭議。一些民兵組織堅稱他該"蹲班房"，指責他支持今年1月美國暗殺伊朗聖城旅指揮官卡西姆·蘇萊曼尼的行動，該事件在伊拉克引起了大規模抗議，包括呼籲驅逐美軍出伊拉克。
