ISIS首席軍師阿德納尼在敘利亞遭擊斃

The chief strategist of the Islamic State group, whose calls for attacks against the West during Ramadan led to mass bloodshed, has been killed in Syria, IS-affiliated media say.

據ISIS內部媒體的報道，ISIS組織的首席策略師，曾在齋月期間對西方世界發起猛烈攻擊並導致了大規模流血事件的頭目，目前已在敘利亞境內被殺。

The Amaq news agency said Abu Muhammad al-Adnani died in Aleppo province.

據艾瑪爾新聞社報道稱，阿布·穆罕默德·阿德納尼死在了阿勒頗省。

The Pentagon said an air strike had targeted Adnani in the town of al Bab and the results were being assessed.

美國的五角大樓聲稱，在巴布鎮曾有一場針對阿德納尼的空襲發生，並且其結果正在評估之中。

Adnani - who was also the group's spokesman - was "martyred while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo", Amaq said, without giving details about how he died.

艾瑪爾新聞社聲稱，阿德納尼也是ISIS組織的發言人，他在思考採取何種對策以對抗阿勒頗的軍事行動時滿臉愁雲，但艾瑪爾並沒有披露更多的關於阿德納尼的死亡細節。

Fighting has escalated around the city in recent weeks, with rebels breaking a siege by government forces and Syrian and Russian warplanes bombing rebel-held areas.

幾周以來，各地的戰爭都已經升級。反叛黨已突破政府軍的圍攻，同時敘利亞的俄羅斯戰鬥機持續地轟炸着由叛軍控制的領地。

In a statement, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook described Adnani as the "principal architect of Isil's external operations", using an alternative name for the group.

在一份聲明中，五角大樓的發言人彼得·庫克使用了ISIS的另一種稱謂，將阿德納尼描述爲“ISIS對外策略的首席軍師”。

He had "co-ordinated the movement of Isil fighters, directly encouraged lone-wolf attacks on civilians and members of the military and actively recruited" new members, Mr Cook said.

庫克先生指出，阿德納尼在ISIS的戰鬥中組織作戰，協調作戰計劃，在對平民和軍隊的攻擊中親自鼓勵孤軍奮鬥的戰士們，同時他還直接負責ISIS的新成員招募的相關事宜。

He added: "We are still assessing the results of the strike, but al-Adnani's removal from the battlefield would mark another significant blow to Isil.

他補充說道，“我們仍在評估此次空襲的結果，但是在戰場上剷除了阿德納尼，意味着對ISIS的打擊取得了另一次重大成果。”
