中国大使馆周五向新华社证明， 三名中国公民在发生于马里首都巴马科的酒店人质劫持事件中丧生。大使馆表示，另有四名中国公民被从巴马科丽笙酒店中救出。根据中国驻马里大使馆的参赞王毅所说，被救中国人目前情况稳定。At least 22 people were killed on Friday after Malian forces staged a rescue mission to free hostages held by gunmen at the luxury hotel in Bamako.
马里武装力量于周五开始解救行动，意图救出被持枪分子困在豪华酒店里的人质，行动之后至少有22人丧生。There were no more hostages held at Radisson Blu hotel, said security minister Salif Traore, hours after gunmen stormed the hotel and held 170 people hostage, many of them foreigners. But security sources said Malian forces were in the process of securing the hotel as gunmen were still holding out inside the seven-storey building.
安全部的Salif Traore说，现在丽笙酒店里已经没有被困人质了，此时距持枪匪徒冲进酒店劫持170名人质事件已经过去数小时，许多人质都是外国人。但是安全部门称当马里武装人员仍然在酒店内开展安全行动，因为还有持枪者仍在这栋七层大楼里顽固抵抗。
Security sources said two attackers had been killed, but it remained unknown if the attackers were among the 22.
安全部门称已有两名袭击者死亡，但是仍然不清楚是否在死亡的22人中有别的袭击者。The rescue operation by Malian special forces received support from MINUSMA, the UN peacekeeping mission in Mali, U.S. and French troops.
马里特警队的营救行动得到了来自联合国马里多层面综合稳定团，联合国维和部队，美国和法国部队的支援。The gunmen entered the hotel, which houses 190 rooms and sheltered 140 people of different nationalities, on a car with diplomatic plate, said Traore. Some hostages succeeded in escaping by their own means while the majority of them were rescued by the special forces.
Traore说，持枪劫匪乘坐有外交牌照的车进入来了酒店，酒店内有190间房间，住着来自不同国家的140人。一些人质成功用自己的方式逃跑了，而大部分人质是被特警营救的。Jihadist Al-Murabitoun group based in northern Mali has claimed responsibility for the hotel attack. The group was also responsible for a shooting attack on a restaurant popular with foreigners in Bamako on March 7 this year, which killed five people and wounded nine others.
马里北部的Al-Murabitoun圣战组织已经声称对此次酒店袭击负责。这个组织也为今年3月7日的一起枪击事件负责，这起事件发生在一家外国人常去的餐厅，共造成5人死亡9人受伤。
