2月1日早上,南美洲国家哥伦比亚的左翼反政府武装集团利用自制火箭炮袭击了哥东南部的海军站点,造成至少14名军人死亡,约25人受伤。外电报道如下:Leftist
rebels attacked a Colombian marine
post in southwest Colombia with homemade rockets early Tuesday, killing at
least 14 soldiers and wounding about 25, the commander of the Colombian
navy said.
Government forces in river gunboats, an airplane outfitted with machine
guns and helicopters were pursuing the rebels of the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia, or FARC, who attacked the marine outpost in the
village of Iscuande, the navy said. Scattered clashes were reported in the
region, which is in the heart of one of Colombia's cocaine producing
areas.
A lieutenant who commanded the jungle outpost and 13 other marines were
killed in the pre-dawn attack, said Adm. Mauricio Soto, the commander of
the Colombian navy.
Homemade意为“家庭自制的,本国制的”,如homemade
pie(家制馅饼)。此外,homemade还可以“谦虚”地表示“制作简单或粗糙的”。
据悉,“哥伦比亚革命武装力量”(FARC)成立于20世纪60年代,共有1.7万成员,是拉丁美洲规模最大、历史最长的反政府武装。哥伦比亚帕斯特拉纳政府1998年上台以后,一直致力于推动国内和平进程,结束与反政府武装之间长达40年的冲突。目前,哥国内两大反政府武装“哥伦比亚革命武装力量”和“民族解放军”共有成员两万余人,控制着约40%的国土。长期的战乱使这个拥有4000万人口的安第斯山国家苦不堪言。
