馬來西亞挫敗襲擊沙特國王圖謀

Malaysian authorities announced on Tuesday they had foiled a plot against Saudi Arabia’s monarch on a tour of Asia last week and had arrested seven men, including four Yemeni nationals.

馬來西亞當局週二宣佈，他們挫敗了一起在沙特阿拉伯國王上週訪問亞洲期間襲擊他的圖謀，逮捕了七名男子，其中包括四名也門公民。

Khalid Abu Bakar, Malaysia’s police chief, said the men arrested in February who were suspected of links to militant groups including Isis, had plotted to attack King Salman bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud while he was visiting Kuala Lumpur last week.

馬來西亞警察總長哈立德?阿布?巴卡爾(Khalid Abu Bakar)表示，2月份被捕的這些男子疑似與伊斯蘭國(ISIS)等激進組織有關聯，他們圖謀在沙特國王薩勒曼?本?阿卜杜勒-阿齊茲?沙特(King Salman bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud)上週訪問吉隆坡期間襲擊他。

“They were planning to attack Arab royalties during their visit to Kuala Lumpur. We got them in the nick of time,” Mr Khalid told reporters.

哈立德告訴記者們：“他們打算在阿拉伯王室訪問吉隆坡期間向其發起襲擊。我們在最後一刻抓住了他們。”

Saudi Arabia is leading a military coalition against Yemen’s Houthi rebellion in a controversial armed intervention aimed at restoring the government in exile.

沙特正領導着一個打擊也門胡賽(Houthi)叛軍的軍事同盟。這一受到爭議的武裝干涉旨在使流亡中的也門政府恢復執政。

Malaysian police said in an earlier statement that two of the detained men, a Malaysian and an Indonesian, were plotting a large-scale car or truck bomb attack before travelling to join Isis in Syria.

馬來西亞警方在早先一份聲明中表示，被羈押的男子中有兩人（一名馬來西亞人和一名印度尼西亞人）圖謀發動大型的轎車或卡車炸彈襲擊，然後離境去加入位於敘利亞的ISIS。

King Salman’s four-day visit to Malaysia was the start of a month-long Asian tour aimed at deepening political and business ties in key export markets for Saudi oil.

薩勒曼國王對馬來西亞爲期四天的訪問，是其爲期一個月的亞洲之旅的開端。這次亞洲之旅旨在深化與沙特石油關鍵出口市場之間的政治商業聯繫。

On the second day of the king’s visit, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil company announced plans to invest $7bn in a Malaysian refining project.

在薩勒曼訪問的第二天，沙特國有石油公司沙特阿美(Saudi Aramco)宣佈，計劃向馬來西亞一個煉油項目投資70億美元。

The deal is one of Saudi Aramco’s biggest investments in refining and petrochemicals, and fits with a strategy of expanding refining capabilities in key markets to secure demand for its crude oil exports.

這筆交易是沙特阿美在煉油和石化領域的最大規模的投資之一，也符合沙特擴大關鍵市場煉油能力、確保對其原油出口的需求的戰略。

The Saudi monarch left Malaysia for Indonesia last week, and is expected to go on to China, Japan and the Maldives.

薩勒曼上週離開馬來西亞前往印尼，預計接下來還會訪問中國、日本和馬爾代夫。

The king arrived in Kuala Lumpur with a 600-strong delegation, including members of the royal household and ministers, according to Malaysia’s state news agency.

據馬來西亞官方通訊社報道，薩勒曼這次來吉隆坡帶着一支600人的代表團，其中包括沙特王室成員和多名大臣。

He touched down in Indonesia with a fleet of aircraft and 459 tonnes of luggage, including two Mercedes-Benz S-Class limousines, freight handlers told local media.

負責運送貨物的人士告訴當地媒體，薩勒曼一行乘坐多架飛機抵達印尼，隨行的行李達459噸，包括兩輛梅賽德斯-奔馳(Mercedes-Benz) S級豪車。
