美軍宣佈打死ISIS財政部長
The US military said on Thursday that it had killed the “financial minister” of Isis and two other senior officials.
美國軍方週四表示，已打死“伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯蘭國”(ISIS)的“財政部長”和另外兩名高官。
Colonel Steve Warren, spokesman for the US-led coalition, said that a November airstrike had killed Abu Salah who he described as “one of the most senior and experienced members of [Isis’s] financial network”.
以美國爲首的聯軍發言人史蒂夫茠倫上校(Colonel Steve Warren)表示，11月的一次空襲導致阿布薩拉赫(Abu Salah)被打死，他稱此人是“（ISIS）金融網絡中級別最高且最有經驗的成員之一”。
A former Al-Qaeda member, Abu Salah was the third senior Isis financial official to be killed in the past three months, Col Warren said. Two other senior Isis members who were involved in extortion activities — named by the Pentagon as Abu Maryam and Abu Wakman al-Tunisi — were also killed, he said.
沃倫上校表示，薩拉赫是前基地組織(Al-Qaeda)成員，他是過去3個月被打死的第三位ISIS金融高官。他表示，另外兩名曾參與敲詐活動的ISIS高級成員也被打死，美國國防部公佈這二人的名字是阿布馬里亞姆(Abu Maryam)和阿布瓦克曼埃爾-突尼斯(Abu Wakman al-Tunisi)。
According to a report by the Brookings Institution, Abu Salah’s real name was Muafaq Mustafa Mohammed al-Karmoush.
根據布魯金斯學會(Brookings Institution)的一份報告，阿布薩拉赫的真名是穆法克穆斯塔法穆罕默德埃爾-卡莫什(Muafaq Mustafa Mohammed al-Karmoush)。
The Pentagon announced the airstrikes as the US Treasury said that a significant part of the $500m that Isis had earned from oil sales came from trade with the Assad regime.
在美國國防部宣佈空襲行動之際，美國財政部表示，在ISIS從石油銷售中獲得的5億美元收入中，有很大一部分是從與阿薩德政權(Assad)的貿易中獲得的。
Adam Szubin, acting undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said that Isis had looted between $500m and $1bn from bank vaults it captured in Iraq and Syria and was gaining “many millions more” from extorting local populations.
美國財政部負責反恐和金融情報的代理副部長亞當舒賓(Adam Szubin)表示，ISIS從伊拉克和敘利亞繳獲的銀行保險庫中掠奪了5億美元至10億美元，同時利用敲詐當地人口獲得“數百萬”美元。
