Fresh Wave of Sectarian Violence Grips Iraq

伊拉克受新一轮教派暴力冲击

Iraqi police say a car bomb has killed at least 10 people and wounded 15 others south of Baghdad as a fresh wave of sectarian violence gripped the country. Monday's blast took place near a bank in the town of Suwayra, 50 kilometers from the capital. Suwayra has a mixed population of Sunnis and Shi'ites and is frequently targeted in attacks.

Roadside bombs in Baghdad Monday killed at least three people and wounded several others. Authorities also found at least eight bodies with bullet wounds dumped in the capital area overnight.

Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki says he will wait several months before forcing militias to disarm. In an interview published Monday in the American newspaper "USA Today," Mr. Maliki says militias must be disbanded, but added that it will "take time." He says it could be "the end of this year or the beginning of next year."

新一轮教派暴力正冲击着伊拉克，伊拉克警方说，首都巴格达以南发生的汽车炸弹爆炸导致至少10人死亡，有15人受伤。星期一的爆炸发生在距首都50公里的苏韦拉镇一家银行附近，该镇是逊尼派和什叶派人口混居地区，经常成为袭击目标。

星期一，巴格达的路边炸弹炸死至少三人，炸伤若干人。有关当局还在巴格达地区发现了至少八具夜间丢弃的带有弹痕的尸体。

在另外一方面，伊拉克总理马利基说，他要再等几个月才开始迫使武装分子缴械。马利基在今日美国报星期一发表的采访中表示， 必须解除武装分子的武装，但是这“需要时间”。马利基还说，解除民兵武装可能“在今年年底或者明年年初进行”。
