土耳其连环爆炸十七亡百多人受伤

土耳其最大城市伊斯坦布尔星期天晚间发生两起致命爆炸案，造成至少17人死亡，150多人受伤。袭击发生在伊斯坦布尔西部一个居民区。连环爆炸案发生之际，正值土耳其爆发一场跟执政党正义与发展党相关的政治危机。

The attack started around 10:00 p.m. local time, when a small explosion occurred in the Gungoren district of Istanbul. The area was packed with people taking a traditional late evening walk after a hot summer day. The explosion saw people rush to help the injured. According to eyewitnesses there was then a second much more powerful explosion causing death and destruction on a massive scale, as one witness explains.

炸弹袭击是当地时间晚上10点左右发生的，当时在伊斯坦布尔贡高伦区发生了一次小规模爆炸。在炎热夏日的夜晚，街上挤满了习惯在晚间散步的人群。爆炸发生后，人们赶到现场帮助受伤的人。一名目击者说，就在那个时候，第二枚威力更大的炸弹爆炸，造成大规模的人员伤亡和破坏。

"I saw lots of dead people , and lots of injured people , that was terrible," said the witness. "I can\'t say anything just bodies all around and injured people. that was terrible."

目击者说：“我看到很多死人，很多受伤的人。真是可怕。我看到周围全是死尸和受伤的人，很恐怖。”

Local hospitals were overwhelmed with the casualties and an urgent appeal has been put out for blood donors. Many of those injured are in critical condition. Turkey\'s President Abdullah Gul condemned the attack saying no goals can be achieved by terrorism and these attacks show how inhumane the instigators are.

当地医院挤满了受伤的人，医院紧急呼吁人们献血，很多伤者伤势严重。土耳其总统居尔谴责这次袭击，他说，靠恐怖主义手段是无法达到任何目标的，这些袭击显示，凶手是多么的没有人性。

According to local TV reports, quoting security officers, the bombings have the hallmark of the Kurdish separatist group the PKK. The same source also said security forces had been bracing themselves for a bombing campaign by the separatists. Two years ago a splinter group of the PKK known as the Kurdistan freedom falcons or Tak was responsible for a series of fatal bombings in Istanbul and some of Turkey\'s main tourist resorts.

据当地电视台援引保安官员的话说，连环爆炸案带有库尔德分离主义组织库尔德工人党制造的爆炸案的特点。同一消息来源还表示，安全部队已经加强戒备，防止库尔德分离分子发动炸弹袭击。两年前，库尔德工人党的一个分支库尔德自由之鹰组织在伊斯坦布尔和土耳其的一些主要旅游区制造了一系列致命爆炸案。

The PKK, which has been fighting the Turkish state for Kurdish autonomy in the southeast for more than 20 years, has been under intense pressure in the last few months from the Turkish army. On Sunday Turkish jets struck numerous rebel targets in northern Iraq. Dozens of rebels have also been killed in Turkey in recent weeks.

在土耳其东南为争取库尔德族自治而斗争了20多年的库尔德工人党，最近几个月受到土耳其军队的强大压力。这个星期天，土耳其战机轰炸了伊拉克北部的几个反叛份子目标。在最近几个星期，有几十名反叛份子在土耳其被打死。

But the PKK is not the only group under suspicion, radical Islamic and far left organizations have also carried out bombings in recent years. The Minister of Interior Besir Atalay, speaking at the scene, said the government wouldn\'t bow to terrorism.

但是库尔德工人党不是唯一受到怀疑的组织，激进伊斯兰和极左组织最近几年也从事了几起爆炸事件。土耳其内政部长阿特雷在现场说，土耳其政府不会向恐怖主义屈服。

"We have lost many of our citizens today but our fight against this merciless terrorism will continue," he said. "No one can intimidate us. We are determined to bring all those responsible to justice."

他说：“我们今天失去了许多公民，但是我们同冷血的恐怖主义份子的战斗会继续下去。没有人能够胁迫我们。我们决心将所有有关罪犯绳之以法。”

Security forces are now under intense pressure to find the bombers. The attacks will inevitably fuel rising political tensions in the country. Turkey\'s constitutional court on Monday starts deliberating a case calling for the closure of the ruling, Islamic-rooted, Justice and Development Party or AKP. The party is accused of undermining the secular state. A verdict is expected in three to 10 days.

安全部队现在受到强大压力去找寻炸弹杀手。这些攻击无疑会助长土耳其的政治紧张。土耳其宪法法庭星期一开始考虑一项动议，要求关闭土耳其执政党根植于伊斯兰的“正义发展党”。这个党被控损害土耳其的世俗性质。对于这项动议的裁决预定在3到10天内做出。
