中国驻吉使馆爆炸案系东伊运成员所为

Kyrgyzstan state security has confirmed that Syria-based Uighur militants were behind the suicide bombing of the Chinese embassy in Bishkek last Tuesday.

吉尔吉斯斯坦国家安全部门确认，上周二发生在该国首都比什凯克的自杀式爆炸是由大本营在叙利亚的维吾尔武装分子策划的。

The driver of the car that crashed into the Chinese embassy gates late on August 30th, injuring three Chinese embassy staff, was an ethnic Uighur with a Tajik passport named Zoir Kahlilov, the GKNB security service said in a statement on Tuesday night, Reuters reported.

8月30日下午，一辆汽车闯入中国驻吉尔吉斯斯坦大使馆大门并发生爆炸，导致中方三名使馆工作人员受伤。据路透社(Reuters)报道，周二晚吉尔吉斯斯坦国家安全委员会(GKNB)在一份声明中表示，该车司机为一持塔吉克斯坦护照的维族人，名叫佐伊尔•哈利洛夫(Zoir Khalilov)。

The GKNB said Mr Kahlilov is a member of the East Turkestan Islamic movement, and that the attack was ordered by Uighur terrorist groups active in Syria and financed by emissaries of Nusra Front, a terrorist group that split from al-Qaeda in July and has since renamed itself Jabhat Fatah al-Sham.

GKNB表示，哈利洛夫是东突厥斯坦伊斯兰运动（East Turkestan Islamic Movement，简称：东伊运）成员，这次袭击由活跃在叙利亚的维吾尔恐怖组织下令实施，由努斯拉阵线(Nusra Front)的代表提供资金支持。努斯拉阵线是一个今年7月从基地组织(al-Qaeda)中分离出来的恐怖组织，分离后已更名为征服沙姆阵线(Jabhat Fateh al-Sham)。

The Kyrgyzstan confirmation of the suicide bombing as a planned attack makes this the first time a Chinese embassy in Central Asia has been targeted by a terrorist organisation.

吉尔吉斯斯坦确认此次自杀式爆炸为有计划的袭击事件，这是中国驻中亚国家大使馆首次成为恐怖组织的袭击目标。

Fear of injury to Chinese citizens and business interests in unstable regions — including Central Asia where China’s presence is increasing through its One Belt One Road initiative — is driving a shift in Beijing’s foreign policy, gradually eroding a long-held policy of non-involvement.

由于担心中国公民及商业利益在不稳定地区（其中包括中亚地区，中国通过一带一路计划正日益扩大在中亚的存在）受到伤害，北京方面的对外政策正发生变化，中国长期坚持的不干涉政策逐渐受到削弱。

China recently agreed to help train government troops in Syria, for example.

举例来说，中国近期同意帮助训练叙利亚政府军。

The Chinese government has long blamed the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, a Muslim separatist group, for violent attacks carried out in China by Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking mostly Muslim people, who live largely in the northwestern province of Xinjiang.

长期以来，中国政府一直将维族人在中国实施的暴力袭击归咎于穆斯林分离主义组织东伊运。维族人大多为穆斯林，主要生活在位于中国西北的新疆。维吾尔语属于突厥语族。

Recognised by the US Treasury as a terrorist group in 2002 — at a time of increased China-US antiterrorism activity in the wake of 9/11 — the ETIM has slipped into obscurity in recent years, and some experts on Xinjiang had questioned whether it still operates in the region.

2002年，美国财政部承认东伊运为恐怖组织——当时，中美两国在9•11后加强了反恐活动。最近几年，东伊运的知名度大不如前，部分新疆问题专家怀疑其是否还在该地区活动。

Five Kyrgyz citizens were detained as potentially complicit in the attack, and arrest warrants have been issued for an explosives specialist from southern Kyrgyzstan and two Kyrgyz citizens living in Turkey, the GKNB said.

GKNB表示，它拘留了五名吉尔吉斯斯坦公民，原因是他们可能参与了此次袭击；另外，它还签发了对该国南部一名炸药专家及两名现居土耳其的吉尔吉斯斯坦公民的逮捕令。

Kyrgyzstan’s long, porous boarder with southern Xinjiang has historically made it a thoroughfare for Uighurs who wish to leave China to join the Islamic terrorist organisations in Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

吉尔吉斯斯坦与新疆的边境线漫长而易于穿越，历来就是那些想离开中国加入叙利亚、阿富汗及其他地区伊斯兰恐怖组织的维族人的一大通道。

China’s increasing presence in the region makes Chinese individuals increasingly salient targets for attacks from terrorist organisations.

中国在该地区不断扩大的存在，令中国人日益成为恐怖组织的主要袭击目标。

In another first, Isis held for ransom then executed a Chinese citizen last year.

在另一起破天荒的事件中，伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯兰国(ISIS)于去年绑架了一名中国公民索要赎金，后来将其处决。
