贝鲁特报道——黎巴嫩总理纳瓦夫·萨拉姆于周一表示，黎巴嫩将展开彻底调查，以追查据信与上周在大阿尔拜达尔关卡被拦截的一辆载有爆炸物的卡车有关的激进组织真主党的可疑成员。
BASSEM MROUE BEIRUT — Lebanon will carry out a thorough investigation to track down the suspected members of the militant Hezbollah group believed to be linked to an explosives-laden truck intercepted at the Dahr al-Baidar checkpoint last week, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Monday.
萨拉姆将这起事件形容为一场“犯罪行动”，并赞扬安全部队在连接贝鲁特与东部贝卡谷地的主干公路上截获了这辆卡车。
Salam has described the incident as a “criminal operation” and has praised security forces for capturing the truck on the main highway linking Beirut with the eastern Bekaa Valley.
黎巴嫩新闻部长保罗·莫尔科斯表示，卡车上被扣留的两人已移交司法机关，安全机构将追捕涉案的其他人员。
Lebanon’s Information Minister Paul Morcos said two people detained in the truck have been referred to judicial authorities and that security agencies will go after other people involved in the case.
司法官员告诉美联社，这辆卡车运载了780公斤（合1720磅）的爆炸物，其中包括250公斤（合550磅）的TNT炸药和250公斤（合550磅）的C4塑性炸药。
The truck was carrying 780 kilograms (1,720 pounds) of explosives, including 250 kilograms (550 pounds) of TNT and 250 kilograms (550 pounds) of C4 plastic explosives, judicial officials told The Associated Press.
这些官员按规定要求匿名，他们表示，被扣留的两名男子供称，他们只是奉命将这批物资从东北部的巴勒贝克地区运送到贝鲁特，并不知道这些物资会被用来做什么。官员们称，他们本应将物资交予贝鲁特南部的一名男子，他们仅知道该男子的化名为“佐勒菲卡尔”。真主党拒绝置评。
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said the two people who were detained have said they were only told to take the material from the northeastern region of Baalbek to Beirut without being told what it would be used for. They were supposed to hand it over to a man south of Beirut whom they identified by his nom de guerre, Zulfiqar, the officials said. Hezbollah has declined comment.
多年来，真主党一直在黎巴嫩部分地区自由运送武器。这一情况在3月发生了改变，当时黎巴嫩政府宣布这个得到伊朗支持的组织的一切军事活动“非法”。这一决定是在真主党向以色列北部发射火箭弹几小时后做出的，该袭击引发了一场持续三个月的战争，导致黎巴嫩近4000人丧生。该组织是在其主要支持者伊朗遭到以色列和美国发动战争两天后发射火箭弹的。
For years, Hezbollah has moved weapons freely in parts of Lebanon. That changed in March, when the Lebanese government declared all military activities by the Iran-backed group “illegal.”That decision came hours after Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel, triggering a three-month war that killed nearly 4,000 people in Lebanon. The group fired the rockets two days after Israel and the United States launched a war on Iran, its main backer.
莫尔科斯援引萨拉姆的话称，他理解民众对这批货物的担忧，并指出C-4炸药曾用于黎巴嫩现代史上的几起“声名狼藉的政治暗杀”。目前尚不清楚真主党是否计划将这些爆炸物和卵石用于其一直在部署、针对占领黎巴嫩南部部分地区的以色列军队的光纤无人机中。
Morcos quoted Salam as saying he understood people’s concerns about the shipment, noting that C-4 explosives had been used in several “infamous political assassinations in Lebanon’s modern history.”It was unclear whether Hezbollah planned to use the explosives and pebbles in the fiber-optic drones it has been deploying against Israeli troops occupying parts of southern Lebanon.
萨拉姆在会晤中表示，黎巴嫩人民应当确信，政府不会迟疑，并将深入且扩大调查，以查明“所有参与这一犯罪行动的人及其幕后主使”。莫尔科斯援引萨拉姆的话说：“我们的政府绝不容忍任何人胆敢破坏国家的安全、平安与稳定。”他补充说，政府将对在国家控制之外拥有、运输或使用武器的行为采取坚决行动。
Salam said during the meeting that Lebanese people should be confident the government would not hesitate to pursue and broaden the investigation to identify “all those involved in this criminal operation and those behind them.”“Our government will not tolerate anyone who dares to tamper with the country’s security, safety, and stability,” Salam said, according to Morcos. He added that the government would take firm action against the possession, transport or use of weapons outside state control.
