1、非洲 Somalia's al-Shabab: Ahmed Abdi Godane targeted by US 美军空袭索马里青年党
2014年9月3日3:44 The US military has confirmed it carried out air strikes in Somalia, targeting the leader of militant group al-Shabab. The Pentagon confirmed the operation by US special forces but said it was still unclear if Ahmed Abdi Godane was hit. Rear Adm John Kirby told reporters that if the rebel leader had been killed, it would be a significant blow. The US has carried out several air strikes in Somalia in recent years on areas controlled by the group. The al-Qaeda-linked group told the AP news agency that six of its fighters were killed in the attack, about 240km (150 miles) south of the capital, Mogadishu. 美国军方已经证实，美军在索马里发动空袭，目标是铲除激进组织青年党头目。 美国国防部已经证实了美军特种部队的空袭行动，但是称仍不清楚青年党组织头目艾哈迈德·阿卜迪·古丹是否被击毙。海军少将约翰·柯比告诉记者，如果该组织头目被打死，这将是一次意义重大的打击。美军近年来已经在该组织控制的地区实施了多次空袭。与基地组织相关青年党告诉美联社记者，该组织有6名士兵在这次空袭中丧生，地点位于摩加迪沙首都以南240公里。

4、北欧 Ukraine crisis: Obama in Estonia ahead of Nato summit 乌克兰危机：奥巴马北约峰会前赴爱沙尼亚会谈 US President Barack Obama is on his way to Estonia for talks on Russia and the Ukraine crisis with Baltic leaders. He is due to hold talks in the capital Tallinn with the presidents of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Correspondents say the three states, which joined Nato in 2004, are worried about Russia's intervention in Ukraine. Later in the week Mr Obama will attend a Nato summit that is expected to back plans for a rapid-response force that could be dispatched within 48 hours. Nato recently announced plans to set up the force to protect Eastern European members against possible Russian aggression. Russia reacted by saying it would alter its military doctrine to reflect "Nato infrastructure getting closer to Russian borders". 美国总统奥巴马目前正前往爱沙尼亚，准备就乌俄危机一事与波罗的海诸国领导人会谈。 预计他将与爱沙尼亚、拉托维亚和立陶宛总统在爱首都塔林举行会谈。根据记者消息，这三个国家均在2004年加入北大西洋公约组织（Nato），三国均对俄罗斯干涉乌克兰内战表示担忧。本周晚些时候，奥巴马将出席北约首脑峰会，预计届时将出台48小时内派出快速反应部队的计划。北约最近宣布了组建部队防止俄罗斯侵犯东欧成员国的计划。俄罗斯表示，此项计划会使他们改变军事政策，因为“北约军队正在靠近俄罗斯边境”。
