伦敦，9月27日电 据路透社记者周日报道，英格兰西南部一处美军空军基地的安保措施近日显著升级，路障和武装警察阻止进入，急救车辆停放在附近。
LONDON, Sept 27 - Security measures at a US air base in southwest England have significantly increased in recent days, with roadblocks and armed police preventing access and emergency vehicles parked nearby, a Reuters witness reported on Sunday.
美国空军发言人表示，他们知晓目前的报道，但不会讨论具体的部队防护措施。
A spokesperson for the US Air Force said they were aware of the current reporting but would not discuss specific force protection measures.
发言人称：“第501战斗支援联队及我们在英国的其他联队保持警惕，将采取适当行动，确保美国军人、文职人员、承包商及其家属的安全。”
"The 501st Combat Support Wing and our fellow UK-based Wings remain vigilant and will take appropriate actions to ensure the safety and security of our US service members, civilians, contractors, and their families," the spokesperson said.
“我们持续评估各种因素，以决定实施或调整何种措施来保护我们的设施、人员及其家属。”
"We constantly assess a variety of factors that determine what measures we institute or modify to protect our installations, our people and their families." Britain said in July its armed forces were ready to protect the country from any attack after Iran's Revolutionary Guards issued a warning not to allow US bombers to fly from Fairford.
