尼日利亚警方因让圣诞节教堂爆炸案主要嫌犯逃亡而面临指责，博尔诺州发言人告诉BBC，他很奇怪嫌犯居然在有警察严守看管的情况下逃走。Mark Doyle在尼日利亚报道。
The escape of a key suspect in the Christmas bombings is deeply embarrassing for the Nigerian police, who\'ve been accused of incompetence.
圣诞节爆炸案主要嫌犯逃逸了，这着实令尼日利亚警察窘迫不已，他们被指责无能。 But the whole affair is also worrying for the government on another deeper level. Nigeria, Africa\'s most populous nation, is roughly split between a Christian south and a Muslim north. The suspected Islamic militant from the Boko Haram sect was arrested last weekend while he was staying in a government guesthouse in the capital Abuja. There have long been suspicions that Boko Haram have infiltrated parts of the establishment here and that some politicians from the Muslim north have secret contacts with the sect.
不过整件事也在另一个更深入的层面上令政府担忧。尼日利亚是非洲人口最多的国家，国内被分裂为南方的基督教和北方的穆斯林。这名穆斯林博科圣地组织嫌疑武装人员是上周被捕的，当时他在首都阿布贾一处政府旅馆逗留。人们很久以来就怀疑博科圣地组织已深入该国的一些机构，甚至北部穆斯林的某些政客也与该组织有秘密联系。

Ten men and three women were arrested. 墨西哥军方称已救回被犯罪团伙劫持的三名儿童，官员说这些孩子被用链子捆着锁在Temixco市中心的一处私人住宅里。士兵们还在这处公寓里找到一具无头男尸，其头部周二被扔在附近。目前已有10名男子和3名妇女被捕。
The Italian government says there\'s a serious risk that rough seas could cause the capsized cruise ship Costa Concordia to sink completely. The vessel is resting on an undersea ledge off the island of Giglio. Rescuers suspended their search of the ship after it shifted slightly. Italy\'s environment minister told parliament that salvage teams had only a few days to siphon off the ship\'s fuel.
意大利政府称，海上汹涌的波涛很可能将倾覆的“协和号”船只完全沉入大海，这艘船目前停靠在吉利奥岛附近的海下礁石上，当这艘船发生轻微晃动后，搜救人员就暂停了救援工作。意大利环境部长告诉议会，救援小组只有几天的时间来抽走船上的燃油。
