拉登被擊斃前竟用妻子做人盾 殘暴本性盡顯

Osama bin Laden used his wife as a human shieldin a last desperate attempt to save his own life before he was gunned down by US special forces in his hideout in Pakistan.

基地組織頭目奧薩馬 本•拉登近日在其藏身地被美軍特種部隊擊斃，而在垂死反抗時，爲了保住自身性命，拉登用自己的妻子做最後一道“人盾”。

Armed with an automatic weapon, the al-Qaeda leader's last act was to force his young bride to sacrifice her life as he tried to fire back at the US Navy Seals storming the compound.

當時，美國海豹突擊隊正對其隱藏的院子進行襲擊，拉登武裝有自動武器，但他的最後一招竟然是強迫自己年輕的妻子犧牲性命做人盾，自己則躲在她身後試圖反擊。

Bin Laden was killed with a single shot to the head after being tracked down to a million-dollar compound just 35 miles from the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, where he is thought to have been living for six years.

拉登最終頭部中彈身亡。據稱，他已經在距離巴基斯坦首都伊斯蘭堡35英里的這處院子裏生活了六年。這座院子造價超過百萬美元。

Far from living in a cave or a tunnel, the terrorist mastermindhad been "hiding in plain view" less than a mile from Pakistan's main military academy in Abbottabad.

恐怖組織頭目拉登既沒有住在洞穴中，也沒有躲在地道里，他的藏身之處其實“非常明顯”，距離巴基斯坦阿伯塔巴德一所重要軍事院校還不到一英里。

The 54 year-old, whose body was identified using DNA and facial recognition techniques, was buried at sea to avoid any danger of his grave becoming a shrine.

拉登現年54歲，他的屍體在通過DNA檢驗和麪部識別技術確認身份後被葬入大海。這樣做是爲了防止拉登的墳墓成爲恐怖分子的聖地。

News of bin Laden's death, conveyed on live television by Mr Obama at 4.30am British time yesterday, prompted scenes of wild celebration on the streets of New York, the city where al-Qaeda's worst atrocitytook place, and throughout America.

英國時間昨天凌晨4點半，奧巴馬通過電視直播發表了拉登被擊斃的消息，隨後紐約和全美各地的人們涌上街頭狂歡慶祝。拉登發動的9•11恐怖襲擊正是發生在紐約。
