  A large car bomb blast outside the Danish embassy in Pakistan's capital has killed at least 8 people and wounded dozens of others.

驻巴基斯坦首都的丹麦大使馆外面发生了一起威力强大的汽车爆炸,这起在伊斯兰堡高尚区的袭击炸死至少8人,炸伤数十人。

Witnesses say a car parked just outside the embassy gates detonated in the early afternoon, tearing through the outer security walls, wrecking 1 nearby vehicles and demolishing 2 security posts of the Danish mission. The blast littered the suburban 3 street with debris 4 and left a one-meter-deep crater 5 in the asphalt.

目击者说,在丹麦大使馆大门外停靠的一辆小汽车中午过后发生爆炸,大使馆的安全外墙、附近的车辆,以及保安岗哨都被炸毁。这条位于市郊的街道上散布着爆炸留下的残骸,并在柏油路上留下一个一米深的弹坑。

The main embassy building was largely intact, but a United Nation's-funded office across the street from the embassy sustained significant damage. Police say most of the casualties appeared to be Pakistani police and private security guards posted outside of the compounds.

丹麦大使馆的主要建筑基本上没有受损,但是大使馆马路对面的一个由联合国资助的办公室却有相当严重的毁坏。警方说,大多数伤亡者看起来是在大使馆外值勤的巴基斯坦警察和私营保安人员。

Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller immediately condemned 6 the blast. He told Danish media that the embassy attack targeted the cooperation between Denmark and Pakistan.

丹麦外交大臣默勒立即谴责了爆炸袭击。他对丹麦媒体说,针对大使馆的袭击,打击目标是丹麦与巴基斯坦之间的合作。

Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir visited the scene and vowed 7 to boost security around foreign missions.

巴基斯坦外长巴希尔视察了现场,誓言将加强外国使领馆四周的安全。

"I think the Pakistani nation feels very ashamed today as incidents such as these certainly damage the fair image of my country," he said.

巴希尔说:“我想巴基斯坦今天一定感觉非常丢人,因为像这样的安全事故肯定会损害我们的国家形象。”

Cartoons published in Danish newspapers in 2005 that satirized 8 the Prophet Muhammad provoked widespread protests in Pakistan and other Muslim countries. Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoons in February. In April, Danish embassies in Muslim countries increased security because of concerns about another backlash.

丹麦报纸于2005年刊登嘲讽先知穆罕默德的漫画,这件事曾经在巴基斯坦和其他穆斯林国家激起广泛抗议。丹麦报纸今年2月再次刊登了这些漫画。今年4月,丹麦在穆斯林国家的大使馆因为担心激起反弹而加强安全。

South of Islamabad, in Multan, about 200 Islamic students were protesting the cartoons when they learned of Monday's blast. The demonstrators praised attack, shouting "God is great."

在伊斯兰堡以南的穆尔坦,有大约200名伊斯兰学生在得知星期一的攻击后,抗议这些漫画。他们称赞这次攻击,并且高呼“真主伟大”。

The blast was the second targeting foreigners in Islamabad. In March, a blast at an Italian restaurant in the city killed one foreigner and wounded several others. The Danish mission is located in a wealthy area of Islamabad that includes diplomat 9 residences and foreign organizations. Many other large diplomatic missions, including the American Embassy, are located in a gated, high-security area of the city, several kilometers away from Monday's blast.

这是在伊斯兰堡第二次针对外国人的攻击。今年3月,伊斯兰堡一家意大利餐厅发生爆炸,炸死一名外国人,炸伤多人。丹麦大使馆位于伊斯兰堡的高尚区内,那里有很多外交官住宅和外国机构。许多其他大型外交机构,包括美国大使馆在内,则座落在大门深锁高度警戒的地区,那里距星期一的爆炸现场有几公里之遥。
