Malaita Eagles militants

Members of the Malaita Eagles Force
“马莱塔之鹰”武装分子

 Solomon Islands rebel leader Andrew Nori said his Malaita Eagle fighters may have killed 50 to 100 men from a rival militia Wednesday when they bombarded them from a captured police gunboat, near to the capital Honiara.
  "When the patrol boat arrived it fired its 50 caliber guns and from eyewitnesses on the boat there were heavy casualties and the casualties could be between 50 and 100,'' Nori told Reuters in a telephone interview from Honiara.
  The report of the deaths could not immediately be independently verified but another witness said rival militants had counter attacked and were said to be on the outskirts of the capital

所罗门战斗激烈,人员伤亡惨重

  所罗门反叛分子领导人安德鲁-诺里称,他的“马莱塔之鹰”战斗人员周三在首都霍尼亚拉附近用从警察手中俘获来的炮舰轰炸敌对武装分子时,可能杀死了50至100人。
  电话采访时,诺里在霍尼亚拉告诉路透社记者说:“巡逻舰抵达目的地后,就开始用50口径的火炮轰击,据船上的目击者称,给敌方造成的伤亡惨重,伤亡人数在50至100之间。”
  这一死亡人数的说法尚不能立即得到证实,但另一位目击者说敌对武装分子当时进行了还击。据说,敌对武装分子已抵达首都近郊一带。
