VOA慢速英語：喀麥隆北部地區(qū)自殺式爆炸襲擊造成至少10人死亡

周三，喀麥隆北部地區(qū)一座清真寺發(fā)生自殺式爆炸襲擊，造成至少10人死亡。

Officials said the bombings took place before sunrise in Kolofata, a town near the border with Nigeria. More than 10 other people were injured.

Kolofata, Cameroon, was the site of a bombing that officials say they believe was carried out by terror group Boko Haram.

官員們表示該自殺式爆炸案件發(fā)生在日出前，在科羅法塔（Kolofata），一座靠近尼日利亞邊境的城市。其他10余人受傷。

News reports say two women bombed the religious center. No individual or group has claimed responsibility. But the incident appeared similar to past attacks carried out by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram.visit the website www.chinavoa.com to get more information!

新聞報道稱兩名婦女炸毀了宗教中心。目前尚無任何組織與個人宣稱制造了此次襲擊。但此次發(fā)生的爆炸事件與過去伊斯蘭激進組織博科圣所發(fā)動的襲擊相似。

The group wants to set up an Islamic state in northeastern Nigeria. It has fought against Nigerian government forces for the past six years. Boko Haram fighters recently began crossing into neighboring countries to carry out attacks. Cameroon belongs to an international coalition set up to defeat the group.

該激進組織希望在尼日利亞北部建立一個伊斯蘭國。過去六年中，該激進組織一直在對抗尼日利亞政府軍。博科圣地激進分子最近開始穿越到鄰國發(fā)動攻擊。喀麥隆隸屬于一個國際聯(lián)盟，該國際聯(lián)盟成立以打敗博科圣地激進組織。

The violent campaign has killed about 20,000 people, according to the United Nations and the rights group Amnesty International.

據(jù)聯(lián)合國與人權(quán)組織——大赦國際報道，暴力活動已造成約20,000人死亡。
