克林頓：美國擴大對敘利亞反對派的幫助

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the United States is increasing its efforts to help Syrian rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad.

Clinton gave no details, but she said Tuesday that the U.S. is giving such non-lethal aid as medical and communications support. She said Washington is working outside of the U.N. Security Council, where Russia and China have vetoed three resolutions that would have taken strong action against the Assad government.

The secretary said the Syrian opposition is seizing control of more and more territory, which she says will eventually become a safe haven and a base for more operations. She said the opposition must be ready to start work on an interim government that protects the rights of all Syrians and safeguards the stockpile of chemical and biological weapons.美國國務卿希拉里?克林頓說，美國正在擴大幫助敘利亞反政府武裝推翻阿薩德總統的努力。

克林頓沒有披露詳情，但是她星期二說，美國提供了醫療和通訊支持等非致命性援助。她說，華盛頓正在聯合國安理會以外進行努力，俄羅斯和中國在安理會三次否決了對阿薩德政府採取強有力行動的決議案。

克林頓說，敘利亞反對派正在控制敘利亞越來越多的地區。她表示，這些地區最終將成爲一個安全港，成爲採取更多行動的基地。克林頓說，反對派必須準備開始組建臨時政府，保護所有敘利亞人的權利，保障大量化學武器和生物武器的安全。
