Two gunmen on motorbikes fired shots at a tourist bus in India’s capital, Delhi, on Sunday.

週日於印度首都新德里，兩名槍手騎乘摩托車，對一輛觀光巴士開槍射擊。

Minutes later, a car at the scene of the shooting caught fire, creating panic among locals.

The chief cleric of a nearby mosque spoke of the attack.

附近清真寺教長談到這次的攻擊。

[Syed Ahmed Bukhari, Chief Cleric Jama Masjid Mosque]:

“Two militants came on a motorbike, carrying a Sten gun. The rider in the back seat opened fire indiscriminately. After 2006, this is one of the biggest attacks on Jama Masjid, in which two people have received bullet injuries and they were both foreigners.”

賈瑪清真寺教長 Syed Ahmed Bukhar說：“兩名好戰分子騎乘摩托車，背著斯登槍，坐在後座者不分青紅皂白地開槍火。繼2006年後，這是賈瑪清真寺發生最大的攻擊事件之一，有兩人中彈受傷，都是外國人“。
