U.S. confirms bombing Islamic State militants
美國確認轟炸伊斯蘭國激進分子
Smoke rises over the desert near Arbil in northern Iraq, the aftermath of an attack by US aircraft on artillery controlled by Islamic State militants threatening to take the Kurdish capital and claim it for themselves. ..not far away, a mad dash as hundreds of ethnic Yazidis grab their share of a humanitarian aid drop from Iraqi forces in the Sinjar mountains. The minority Yazidis have been forced to flee the militants, as they rampage through the desert, trying to carve out a new,fundamentalist state in northern Iraq. But in the mountains, while the Yazidis may be safe - at least temporarily - there is no food or water.
美國飛機襲擊了伊斯蘭國激進分子控制的大炮，他們威脅占領庫爾德首都，據為己有，伊拉克北部埃爾比勒附近沙漠上空升起濃煙。不遠處，數百名雅茲迪教眾瘋狂地奔跑，搶奪辛加山伊拉克軍隊投放的人道主義救援物資。雅茲迪少數民族被迫逃離激進分子，他們試圖在伊拉克北部沙漠中開拓出一個全新的，完全信奉基督教的國家。但是在大山里，雅茲迪人或許是安全的，至少暫時是安全的，然而他們沒有水和食物。
The aid drop came just hours after U.S. President Barack Obama authorized military airstrikes in Iraq in what the White House says was an operation designed to protect U.S. personnel, and prevent "a potential act of genocide."
美國總統奧巴馬授權對伊拉克實施軍事空襲，白宮稱該行動是為了保護美國工作人員防止“種族大屠殺的可能性”。幾個小時后，伊拉克軍隊空投了救援物資。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY JOSH EARNEST SAYING: "The artillery position that was maintained by ISIL that was struck by the American military early this morning east coast time, was focused on targets that were defending Arbil. And that is why that military strike was authorized and that is why it occurred."
白宮新聞發言人喬希(Josh Earnest)：“東海岸時間今天凌晨，ISIL控制的炮火據點被美國軍隊襲擊，目標是保衛埃爾比勒。這就是奧巴馬授權軍事襲擊的原因，也是今天的空襲發生的原因。”
The President spent much of the morning on the phone, consulting with US officials, and leaders in the region. He has insisted that this round of airstikes -- the first since the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Iraq in 2011 -- was a targeted action and will not lead to a return of US boots on the ground.
今早大部分時間，總統都在打電話，與美國官員和該地區領導人進行磋商。他堅持稱這次空襲是有針對性的行動，不會導致美國軍隊重新返回伊拉克。這是自2011年美國軍隊從伊拉克撤退后首次空襲。
