        　　CHINESE OIL WORKERS IN ETHIOPIA MASSACRE
         
        　　Nine Chinese oil workers were among 74 people killed in an attack on a remote oil exploration site in eastern Ethiopia, the deadliest incident involving the Chinese since a pursuit of raw materials took them to Africa.
         
        　　Responsibility for the massacre was claimed in an e-mail statement by separatist rebels of the Ogaden National Liberation Front, but does not appear to have specifically singled out the Chinese, who have developed close ties with prime minister Meles Zenawi's government.
         
        　　However, the attack follows repeated warnings by members of the ONLF for foreign oil companies to leave their area.
         
        　　埃塞俄比亚东部一个偏远的石油勘探地点昨日发生武装袭击事件，造成74人死亡，其中包括9名中国石油工人。这是中国前往非洲寻求原材料以来，非洲发生的伤亡最大的涉华事件。
         
        　　欧加登国民解放战线的分离主义叛乱分子在一封电子邮件中宣布对此次事件负责，但他们似乎并非特别针对中国人。中国已经与埃塞俄比亚总理梅莱斯?泽纳维领导的政府发展了紧密的关系。
         
        　　然而，该组织成员在袭击之前曾多次发出警告，要求外国石油公司离开他们的地区。
