菲律賓政治大屠殺嫌犯自首

某知名家族的一位成員在本周菲律賓南部造成57人遇害的大屠殺中被列為頭號(hào)疑犯，他周四向政府自首，準(zhǔn)備在菲律賓最為嚴(yán)重的這起政治暴力事件中接受調(diào)查。

A prominent clan member who emerged as the primary suspect in the massacre of 57 people in the southern Philippines this week surrendered Thursday to authorities for questioning over the country's worst act of political violence.

在經(jīng)過了兩天的談判后，當(dāng)?shù)匾蛔鞘械氖虚L(zhǎng)小安達(dá)爾·安帕圖安(Andal Ampatuan Jr.)向總統(tǒng)顧問德瑞扎(Jesus Dureza)自首。他對(duì)記者說，自己沒有在周一針對(duì)政治敵對(duì)陣營(yíng)的成員和18名記者的屠殺中發(fā)揮任何作用。當(dāng)時(shí)，這群人正前往提交副市長(zhǎng)曼古達(dá)達(dá)圖(Ismael Mangudadatu)競(jìng)選馬京達(dá)瑙省(Maguindanao)省長(zhǎng)的參選材料。

Andal Ampatuan Jr., a local town mayor, turned himself in to presidential adviser Jesus Dureza after two days of negotiations. He told reporters that he didn't play any role in Monday's killing of members of a rival political clan and 18 journalists as the group prepared to file candidacy papers for a rival politician, Ismael Mangudadatu, for a gubernatorial election in strife-torn Maguindanao province.

據(jù)新聞報(bào)導(dǎo)說，檢察官稱將在周五對(duì)小安達(dá)爾提起多項(xiàng)謀殺指控。小安達(dá)爾是前馬京達(dá)瑙省省長(zhǎng)安達(dá)爾·安帕圖安(Andal Ampatuan Sr.)之子，外界普遍預(yù)計(jì)他將在明年5月的大選中同曼古達(dá)達(dá)圖角逐。

Prosecutors late Thursday said they expected to file multiple murder charges against Ampatuan Jr. on Friday, according to news reports.

據(jù)美聯(lián)社(Associated Press)報(bào)導(dǎo)，小安達(dá)爾說對(duì)他策劃了這起屠殺事件的指責(zé)“不是事實(shí)”。他說，我出來的原因是為了證明我沒有躲藏，我是無辜的。

The Associated Press reported Ampatuan Jr., who is the son of former Maguindanao governor Andal Ampatuan Sr. and was widely expected to face Mangudadatu in May's election, as saying 'there's no truth' to allegations he orchestrated the killings. 'The reason I came out is to prove that I am not hiding and that I am not guilty,' he said.

與此同時(shí)，菲律賓警方和軍隊(duì)說，他們正在核查目擊者有關(guān)小安達(dá)爾攔截了曼古達(dá)達(dá)圖的支持者，并下令殺害了他們的報(bào)告。曼古達(dá)達(dá)圖的妻子和家人在襲擊中遇害，但事發(fā)時(shí)他本人正在馬尼拉。政府人士說，到周三晚上，他們已在該省省會(huì)城市謝里夫阿瓜克附近的淺坑和路邊發(fā)現(xiàn)了57具尸體。警察說，他們預(yù)計(jì)不會(huì)再找到新的尸體了。

Philippine police and army officials, meanwhile, say they are examining witness reports alleging that Ampatuan Jr. stopped the Mangudadatu convoy and ordered them killed. Mangudadatu's wife and family were slain in the ambush, but he was in Manila at the time. By Wednesday evening, officials said they had recovered 57 bodies in a shallow grave along the roadside near the provincial capital of Shariff Aguak. Police say they don't expect to find any further bodies.
