**和平特使卜拉希米将首次访问叙利亚**
新任联合国与阿拉伯国家联盟的叙利亚问题特使卜拉希米星期四前往大马士革进行首次正式访问，争取恢复结束叙利亚持续暴力的努力。
预计卜拉希米将在访问期间会晤叙利亚总统阿萨德。
星期三， 卜拉希米在开罗与阿盟官员就叙利亚局势进行磋商。在叙利亚，政府军与反对阿萨德的反政府武装的战斗已经持续了18个月，造成大约2万人死亡。
叙利亚活动人士说，叙利亚政府军星期四轰炸北部城市阿勒颇，继续造成人员伤亡。
卜拉希米取代了前特使安南的职位。安南未能促成叙利亚停火，也未能启动有关组建叙利亚过渡政府的谈判。
**Peace Envoy Brahimi to Make First Syria Visit **
The new United Nations-Arab League envoy for Syria travels to Damascus Thursday in his first official visit to try to revive efforts to halt the country's persistent violence.
Lakhdar Brahimi is expected to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the trip.
On Wednesday, Brahimi was in Cairo for talks with Arab League officials about the situation in Syria, where 18 months of fighting between government forces and rebels opposed to Mr. Assad has left about 20,000 people dead.
Syrian activists say the killing continued Thursday with deadly shelling by Syrian forces in the northern city of Aleppo.
Brahimi replaced former envoy Kofi Annan, who failed to establish a cease-fire in Syria and open talks on a transitional government.
**墨西哥海军擒获贩毒集团首领科斯蒂亚**
墨西哥海军说，他们已经抓获墨西哥最臭名昭著的贩毒集团首领之一科斯蒂亚。科斯蒂亚在墨西哥东北部的塔毛利帕斯州就擒。
科斯蒂亚又名“艾尔-科斯”，他于上世纪90年代加入“海湾”贩毒集团，当时该集团的首脑是奥西尔。奥西尔2003年被逮捕后，科斯蒂亚仍然留在“海湾”贩毒集团。奥西尔的兄弟同墨西哥军队枪战时被击毙后，科斯蒂亚于2010年开始控制“海湾”贩毒集团。
墨西哥当局曾悬赏220万美元捉拿科斯蒂亚，美国国务院另提供悬赏550万美元。
**Drug Lord Costilla Captured by Mexican Navy**
The Mexican Navy says its forces have captured one of the country's most notorious drug cartel leaders. Costilla was arrested Wednesday in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas.
Costilla, also known as "El Coss," joined the Gulf Cartel in the 1990s when it was run by Osiel. Costilla remained with the cartel after Osiel was arrested in 2003, and assumed control in 2010 after Osiel's brother was killed in a shootout with Mexican troops.
Mexican authorities had offered a $2.2 million award for his Costilla's arrest, with the U.S. State Department offering an additional $5.5 million bounty.
