Sudan says a huge fire that engulfed in arms factory in the capital Khartoum on Tuesday night was caused by an air attack and it accused Israel of being responsible. The Sudanese information minister said four aircrafts flown in to attack the Yarmouk plant. Our defense correspondent Jonathan Marcus reports.
The aircrafts approached the factory from the east, the Sudanese information minister Ahmed Belal Osman told the reporters in Khartoum, blaming the attack on Israeli air force. Israeli officials have refused any comment. Israel is widely believed to be responsible for similarly mysteriously air attacks against two arms convoys in northeastern Sudan back in early 2009. The argument then boasted by leaked U.S. diplomatic cables was that these were secret weapon shipments from Iran destine for Hamas in the Gaza strip.
The international envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi says the Syrian government and some rebel groups have agreed to a truce to cover the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. The surprised announcement raises hopes of breakthrough in the 19 months old conflict. Barbara Plett reports from New York.
Diplomats who attended a closed Security Council briefing said Mr. Brahimi acknowledged there was not trust between the government and opposition so no guarantee that the short cease fire would be effective. But he said he hoped a small step could improve humanitarian access and create political space for dialogue. Mr. Brahimi told the council that the government had accepted the truce although a final announcement would be made on Thursday. But the Syrian authorities say they are still studying the proposal. Key rebel brigades say they will only observe it if the army does. And Islamist militants have rejected it.
Scientists in the United States have successfully created human embryos containing genetic information from two women and a man. They said the technique could help women with serious genetic disorders to have healthy children. The technique involves transferring energy produce in cell parts from a healthy female donor during in vitro fertilization of the egg. Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, the national institute for medical research in London, said the results were encouraging.
It was done with a reasonable efficiency and they caught the embryos they have obtained. At the end of it, and it seems to be good, then more tests need to be done, and ideally the whole process needs to be repeated preferably by a different lab but it is looking good.
The researchers say the procedure raises its ethical and scientific concerns and it will take several years before it is proved for general use.

這 幾家飛機從東而來，蘇丹情報部長奧斯曼在喀土穆如是告訴記者，他譴責以色列空軍實施了此次襲擊。以色列官員拒絕發(fā)表評論。2009年初蘇丹東北部兩支武器 車隊遭到類似的神秘空襲，普遍認為以色列是幕后黑手。這個論斷后來在美國泄密的外交電報中進一步加以夸耀，稱這些神秘的武器是從伊朗運來的，是為加沙地帶 的哈馬斯提供的。
赴敘利亞國際使者卜拉希米說敘利亞政府和部分叛軍組織同意休戰(zhàn)，來歡度穆斯林的古爾邦節(jié)日。這個突如其來的聲明讓人們在這場長達19個月的沖突中看到了希望。Barbara Plett在紐約報道。
參 加聯(lián)合國秘密簡報會議的外交家稱，卜拉希米承認政府和反對派之間互不信任，所以無法保障這次短期?；鹗欠駮?。但他說，希望能取得微小的進展，來改善人 道主義渠道，為對話創(chuàng)造政治空間。卜拉希米告訴委員會，政府已接受停戰(zhàn)提議，盡管還需在周四簽署最后聲明。但敘利亞當局稱目前仍在研究這項提議。主要的叛 軍部隊稱只要政府軍遵守協(xié)議，他們就會遵守。伊斯蘭武裝人員拒絕接受該提議。
美國科學界成功地創(chuàng)造出包含兩名婦女和一名男子基因信息的人類 胚胎。他們稱這項技術將幫助身患嚴重基因紊亂的婦女生出健康的孩子。這項技術的內容包括，在體外受精中將健康女性捐贈者細胞的能量轉移出去。倫敦國際醫(yī)學 研究所的Robin Lovell-Badge教授說研究結果鼓舞人心。
實驗很有效果，他們得到了這種胚胎。結果表明很不錯，不過還要進行大量的測試，從理論上說，需要由其他實驗室反復進行整個過程，但目前看起來結果不錯。
研究者稱這引發(fā)人們對道德和科學上的擔憂，還需要數(shù)年時間才能得到普遍應用。

巴基斯坦稱將為來訪的外國板球隊購買防彈車，以此來復蘇該國國內的國際賽事。巴基斯坦板球協(xié)會稱政府還將在首都伊斯蘭堡建造新的高度安全的體育館，為客隊球員提供安全住處。自從2009年槍手在拉合爾市襲擊斯里蘭卡團隊車隊后，國際隊對巴基斯坦都唯恐避之不及。
