**中国施压 东盟难就南中国海问题达成一致**
分析人士说，北京在东南亚地区的影响力越来越大，这使得东南亚国家继续争取共同应对南中国海领土争端问题的努力变得复杂化。
上星期在柬埔寨举行的地区峰会上，拥有10个成员国的东盟成立45年来首次未能发表一项联合声明，显示东盟各国在南中国海领土争端问题上存在深刻分歧。
外界广泛认为，这种分歧来自中国施加的政治压力。中国愿意分别面对与其存在领土争端的五个国家，而不愿面对作为一个整体的东盟。
印度尼西亚外交部长马蒂正在争取恢复东盟在南中国海问题上的协调一致。他星期四在柬埔寨说，目前正在取得一些进展。
但很多分析人士说，由于中国继续向柬埔寨等国家施压强大的政治压力，因此东盟不大可能在这个问题上达成一致立场。柬埔寨等国依赖北京当局提供的数以十亿万计的巨额经济援助。
**Chinese Pressure Effecting ASEAN Unity on South China Sea Dispute **
Analysts say continued efforts to unify Southeast Asian nations on the issue of territorial disputes in the South China Sea are being complicated by Beijing's rising influence in the region.
ASEAN, a bloc of 10 Southeast Asian nations, for the first time in its 45 year history failed to produce a joint statement at a regional summit in Cambodia last week, revealing a deep rift over the issue.
The discord was widely attributed to political pressure from China, which would rather deal separately with the five nations with which it has maritime disputes, rather than confront ASEAN as whole.
Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa attempt to "restore ASEAN cohesion and unity on the South China Sea." Speaking in Cambodia Thursday, he said some progress is being made.
But many say unity is not likely to be achieved with China continuing to exert enormous political pressure on nations like Cambodia, which rely on Beijing for billions of dollars in economic assistance.
**保加利亚：自杀爆炸手袭击公交车导致七人死亡**
保加利亚官员说，一名自杀爆炸手星期三对一辆载有以色列旅游者的公交车发动致命的袭击。
保加利亚内政部长茨韦塔诺夫星期四说，这次袭击发生在黑海沿岸城市布尔加斯，六名以色列人和保加利亚司机被炸死。
他表示，还没有确认袭击者的身份，但此人携带伪造的美国密西根州的驾驶执照。
没有任何组织宣称对这起袭击负责。
以色列官员说，这起袭击是伊朗策划的。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡说，在印度、泰国以及其它地点发生的针对以色列游客的袭击具有类似特点。
美国总统奥巴马谴责这起爆炸是“野蛮的恐怖袭击”。
**Bulgaria: Suicide Bomber Kills 7 in Bus Attack**
Bulgarian officials say a suicide bomber carried out Wednesday's deadly attack on a bus carrying Israeli tourists.
