克林顿：美国扩大对叙利亚反对派的帮助

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the United States is increasing its efforts to help Syrian rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad.

Clinton gave no details, but she said Tuesday that the U.S. is giving such non-lethal aid as medical and communications support. She said Washington is working outside of the U.N. Security Council, where Russia and China have vetoed three resolutions that would have taken strong action against the Assad government.

The secretary said the Syrian opposition is seizing control of more and more territory, which she says will eventually become a safe haven and a base for more operations. She said the opposition must be ready to start work on an interim government that protects the rights of all Syrians and safeguards the stockpile of chemical and biological weapons.美国国务卿希拉里?克林顿说，美国正在扩大帮助叙利亚反政府武装推翻阿萨德总统的努力。

克林顿没有披露详情，但是她星期二说，美国提供了医疗和通讯支持等非致命性援助。她说，华盛顿正在联合国安理会以外进行努力，俄罗斯和中国在安理会三次否决了对阿萨德政府采取强有力行动的决议案。

克林顿说，叙利亚反对派正在控制叙利亚越来越多的地区。她表示，这些地区最终将成为一个安全港，成为采取更多行动的基地。克林顿说，反对派必须准备开始组建临时政府，保护所有叙利亚人的权利，保障大量化学武器和生物武器的安全。
