(Reuters) - Islamic State said on Friday that an American woman hostage it was holding in Syria was killed when Jordanian fighter jets bombed a building where she was being held, but Jordan expressed doubt about the Islamist militant group's account of her death.
In Washington, U.S. officials said they could not confirm that the woman, 26-year-oldhumanitarian worker Kayla Mueller of Prescott, Arizona, had been killed.
Mueller was the last-known American hostage held by Islamic State, which controls wide areas of Syria and Iraq.
The group has beheaded three other Americans, two Britons and two Japanese hostages - most of them aid workers or journalists - in recent months. Mueller was taken hostage while leaving a hospital in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo in August 2013.

参考译文:
(路透)- 伊斯兰国于周五宣称,一名美国女性人质在叙利亚关押期间,所在住所遭到约旦战斗机轰炸,并因此丧生。但是对伊斯兰军事组织给出的这种解释,约旦方面表示了质疑。
在华盛顿,美国官员则表示,他们还无法证实来自 普莱斯考特的26岁人道主义工作者凯拉·穆勒(是否)已经丧生。
伊斯兰国家控制了叙利亚和伊拉克的广大区域,而穆勒是所知被该国劫持的最后一名美国人质。
除穆勒之外,近几个月内该组织还斩首了另外三名美国人质,两名不列颠人质以及两名日本人质。他们中的大部分都是救援人员和记者。穆勒是于2013年8月份在离开谓语叙利亚北部阿勒波的一间医院时内被劫持的。
