美国波士顿检察官起诉并拘留三名19岁男子，据悉他们掩盖波士顿马拉松爆炸案一名嫌犯的行踪。上月的爆炸案导致三人丧生，保罗·亚当斯报道。
According to a justice department statement, two of the three students, Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, both 19-year-olds of Kazak origin, have been charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice. They are accused of disposing of a laptop computer and a backpack of fireworks, both of which belong to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the younger of the two Boston bombing suspects. The third man, identified as Robel Phillipos and thought to be a US citizen, has been charged with making false statements to investigators.
据司法部的声明称，这三名学生中的两个人，Dias Kadyrbayev和Azamat Tazhayakov今年都是19岁，都是哈萨克族人，他们被控阴谋妨碍司法。他们被控处理了一台笔记本电脑和装爆竹的背包，这些物品都是Dzhokhar Tsarnaev的，也就是波士顿两起爆炸案嫌犯中的弟弟。第三个人名叫Robel Phillipos，据悉他是美国公民，被控向调查者提供虚假信息。
The Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick said the arrests didn’t mean that further attacks were expected.
"This should not raise any concerns in anyone’s mind about a continuing threat to the public. This is about getting all the way to the bottom of the story of what happened at the marathon.”
"Is it your understanding that they did or did not have a role in the bombing incident?”
"It’s my understanding that they did not, but as I said at the beginning, the investigation continues and there are lots and lots of questions that you and I and everybody else has and the FBI is going to run every one of those to ground.”
麻省州长德瓦尔·帕特里克说，逮捕事件并不意味着将发生更多袭击案。
“大家不用担心，公众不会受到更多威胁。我们所做的是将马拉松爆炸案的始末查个水落石出。”
“您认为这三人有没有参与爆炸案?”
“我认为他们没有，但正如我开始所说，调查仍在继续，你我、大家每个人都有很多问题要弄清楚，FBI力争将每个嫌犯捉拿归案。”

Mr Morales had earlier said he was expelling the US government development agency USAID from the country. From Washington, Kim Ghattas.
有说法称美国干预玻利维亚国内事务，并试图削弱总统埃沃·莫拉莱斯的左翼政府，美国否认该指控。莫拉莱斯早些时候说，他正在将美国政府机构美国国际开发署从本国赶走。吉姆·加塔斯在华盛顿报道。
President Evo Morales made the announcement during a fiery speech to workers on May Day. Mr Morales, a leftist who has repeatedly accused the US of trying to undermine his government, said the US aid agency was there for political not social reasons. The state department has denied the allegations. Approximately 30 people work for USAID in Bolivia, South America’s poorest country. It’s still unclear if all or only some are being kicked out. The formal diplomatic notification of their expulsion will arrive at the state department on Thursday.

In Fallujah, west of the capital, two separate attacks killed 14 members of an anti-al-Qaeda militia unit, three soldiers and a senior police officer.

Scientists have discovered proof that the first English settlers in America resorted to cannibalism to survive. The remains of a 14-year-old girl discovered at the Jamestown colony in the US state of Virginia show cuts to her face and efforts to extract her brain. Here’s Jane O'Brien.
科学家发现证据表明，首批到美国的英国定居者靠食人来求生。在美国弗吉尼亚州詹姆斯敦殖民地发现的14岁少女遗体显示，她的面部有刀口，还有取其大脑的痕迹。简·奥布莱恩报道。
The girl’s bones date to a period known to historians as The Starving Time. Scientists at the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History say somebody tried to pry open her skull to remove the brain. Other cuts reveal her facial tissue and tongue were also extracted. Forensic anthropologist Dr Doug Owsley says the discovery is compelling evidence that the early settlers resorted to cannibalism during the winter of 1609.
