安全考慮延後聯合國檢查小組活動

U.N. investigators have suspended visits to suspected chemical attack sites in Damascus suburbs for one day because of security concerns.

A U.N. statement said the team had planned to inspect one of the rebel-held suburbs on Tuesday after traveling to another affected district, Moadamiyeh, the day before. That visit was marred by sniper fire on a U.N. vehicle.

The United Nations said an assessment of the sniper fire determined that the team should wait until Wednesday before conducting another inspection, in order to "improve preparedness and safety."聯合國調查員出於安全考慮，把對大馬士革郊區疑似化學武器攻擊地點的訪問暫停一天。

聯合國的一份聲明說，檢查小組原計劃星期二檢查反對派武裝控制的一處郊區。此前一天，他們曾前往另一個受化武影響的地區莫達米亞。在那次訪問中，聯合國的一輛汽車遭到狙擊手的射擊。

聯合國方面表示，對狙擊手的射擊進行評估後決定，檢查小組應等到星期三再進行檢查，以便準備得更充分，並改善安全條件。
