lead away
イラクの制圧を目指しているスンニの過激派がネット上に動画を上げております。その内容はイラクの兵士を殺害するというものです。その動画が本当であるかどうかの確証はとれておりませんが,残虐な行為が行われていることが予想されます。記事の中で気になった単語は"lead away"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版(三省堂)』によると,「を連れ去る」という意味がありました。「連行する」ともいえると思います。(Ume)
Iraq conflict: Images purport to show 'massacre' by militants
The Sunni extremist group that has taken territory across Iraq has posted photos online that appear to show its fighters massacring Iraqi soldiers.
The army personnel are pictured being led away and then lying in trenches before and after their "execution".
Iraqi military spokesman Lt Gen Qassim al-Moussawi said the pictures were authentic and depicted events in Salahuddin province.
But the images' authenticity has not been independently confirmed.
The BBC's Jim Muir, in northern Iraq, says if the photographs are genuine, it would be by far the biggest single atrocity since the time of the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Their emergence came as the Iraqi government claimed to have "regained the initiative" against the offensive by Sunni rebels led by ISIS - the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
Extremists captured key cities, including Mosul and Tikrit, last week, but several towns have now been retaken from the rebels.
