以發生自殺炸彈襲擊 死六人傷數十 (Suicide Bombing at Israeli Mall Kills 6, Wounds Dozens More)

一名巴勒斯坦自殺爆炸手在以色列北部城鎮的一處購物中心炸死至少6名過路人，炸傷大約50人。警方說，很多受傷者生命垂危。星期一襲擊的目標是沿海城鎮內坦亞的一家購物中心。激進組織[伊斯蘭聖戰者]宣稱對襲擊負責，並播出一段錄影。錄影顯示被稱為爆炸手的人手拿步槍和火箭筒，站在該組織的黑色旗幟前。今年7月一個類似的伊斯蘭聖戰式的爆炸發生在同一個購物中心，炸死5名以色列人。

當局說，爆炸手在購物入口的檢查站引爆了身上的炸彈。巴勒斯坦權力機構主席阿巴斯立即譴責了這次襲擊，稱之為恐怖行為，並命令巴勒斯坦保安部隊捉拿參與者。以色列總理沙龍召開安全內閣的緊急會議，商討如何做出反應。

A Palestinian suicide bomber has killed at least six bystanders and wounded about 50 others at a shopping mall in northern Israel. Police say many of the wounded are in critical condition. Monday's attack targeted a mall in the coastal city of Netanya. The militant group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility, and released a video showing the purported bomber with an assault rifle and a grenade launcher in front of the group's black flag. A similar Islamic Jihad bombing in July at the same mall killed five Israelis.

Authorities say the bomber blew himself up at a security checkpoint at the mall's entrance. Palestinian Authority President Abbas immediately condemned the attack, calling it an act of terrorism and ordering Palestinian security forces to arrest those involved. Israeli Prime Minister Sharon has called an emergency meeting of his security cabinet to consider a response.

佳木斯市切斷向50萬人供水 (Jiamusi City Cuts Water Supply to Half a Million Residents)

有約50萬人的中國城市佳木斯之在有毒化學物質污染帶即將到達際切斷了供水。佳木斯的水源來自松花江。這條劇毒污染帶預計星期二到達佳木斯市。

11月13號，松花江上游一家化工廠爆炸，造成100噸苯和硝基苯洩露進松花江。泄漏導致哈爾濱市中斷了向4百多萬居民的供水。

松花江為東北幾個市區提供飲水。污染帶預計星期天流到俄羅斯邊境。

The Chinese city of Jiamusi of about half a million people has cut its water supply from the Songhua River ahead of the arrival of a toxic chemical slick on the waterway. The highly poisonous pollution is expected to reach Jiamusi on Tuesday.

A blast at a chemical plant upstream on November 13th released 100 tons of benzene and nitrobenzene into the river. The spill caused the city of Harbin to shut down its water supply for five days, leaving four million people without fresh water.

The Songhua provides much of the drinking water to urban communities in northeast China. The toxic slick is expected to reach the Russian border by Sunday.
