The Justice Department for the United States has also unsealed charges against a Libyan bomb maker in the 1988 explosion of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, (s..., sc...) Scotland. The attack killed 259 people in the air and an additional 11 on the ground. The charges were announced on the 32nd anniversary of the bombing. Attorney General Barr had announced an earlier set of charges against two Libyan intelligence officials in his capacity as acting attorney general nearly 30 years ago, vowing that the investigation would continue. The case against the alleged bomb maker, Abu Agela Masud Kheir Al-Marimi, is for now more theoretical than practical since Masud is not in U.S. custody and it is unclear if he ever will be in U.S. custody or if the evidence will be sufficient for conviction. But it nonetheless represents one or (one of the) more consequential counterterrorism announcements from the Trump administration Justice Department.

美国司法部解除了对一名利比亚炸弹制造者的指控,该炸弹制造者曾参与1988年泛美航空103号航班在苏格兰洛克比上空爆炸的事件。那次爆炸袭击在空造成259人死亡,另有11人在地面死亡。这些指控是在爆炸事件32周年纪念日之际宣布的。美国司法部长巴尔在近30年前以代理司法部长的身份宣布了对两名利比亚情报官员的指控,誓言调查将继续进行。指控炸弹制造者阿布·阿格拉·马苏德·凯伊尔·马利米的案件目前理论性有余而实践性不足,因为马苏德没有被美国羁押,也不清楚他是否会被美国拘留,或者证据是否足以定罪。不过,它代表了特朗普政府司法部的又一个更具影响力的反恐声明。

U.S. President-elect Biden received a COVID-19 vaccination on live television Monday to convince Americans that the inoculation is safe. The president-elect received the Pfizer and BioNTech shot at a hospital in the U.S. city of Newark, Delaware. He said afterward, "I'm (d...) doing this to demonstrate that people should be prepared when it's available to take the vaccine. There's nothing to worry about." His wife, Jill Biden, was given a dose of the vaccine hours earlier at the same hospital, which is near the couple's Delaware home. Other U.S. leaders received their vaccines last week, including Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

美国当选总统拜登星期一在电视直播中接种了新冠疫苗,以使美国人相信接种疫苗是安全的。这位当选总统在美国特拉华州纽瓦克市的一家医院接种了辉瑞-BioNTech疫苗。他随后说:“我这样做是为了人们在可以接种疫苗时应该做好准备。没什么好担心的。”他的妻子吉尔·拜登几小时前在同一家医院注射了疫苗,这家医院靠近他们在特拉华州的家。美国其他领导人上周也接种了疫苗,包括副总统彭斯、众议院议长佩洛西和参议院多数党领袖麦康奈尔。

Pakistan cautioned rival India against any military aggression on Monday, Pakistan adding military action could spiral into a mutually destructive "final battle" between the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors. The warning came from Pakistani Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed a day after his government formally alleged in a letter to the United Nations that New Delhi was planning to stage a cross-border attack. The interior minister (im...) implicitly warned of a possible nuclear exchange with India in the event of a war. The Indian government has not commented on Pakistan's charges.
