惊人画面显示,在英国皇家空军费尔福德基地被曝谋划针对美军的爆炸袭击后,反恐警察逮捕了5名男子,并出动一台排爆机器人搜查3辆厢式车。

Dramatic pictures have shown terror police arresting five men and a bomb disposal robot sweeping three vans after a suspected explosives plot against US forces at RAF Fairford.

今天凌晨,一位勇敢的居民拨打999报警,称看到数名男子在白色厢式车附近“行为可疑”,警方由此获悉此次阴谋。

Police were alerted to the plot early this morning after a heroic resident called 999 to report men 'acting suspiciously' around the white vans.

该团伙被抓时均被戴上手铐,画面显示他们上身赤裸,坐在路面上;这表明警方可能还怀疑他们穿着自杀式炸弹背心。

The group was arrested and filmed sitting on the road shirtless while handcuffed, indicating officers may also have suspected they were wearing suicide vests.

警方称,他们在拘捕这些男子时,指控其涉嫌违反《爆炸物法》,并在其中一辆厢式车内发现了可用的燃烧装置和化学品。

Viable incendiary devices and chemicals were found inside one of the vans, police said as they arrested the men on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act.

随后,人们看到陆军队专业爆炸物处理小组使用的一台排爆机器人,在3辆停放的厢式车之间移动。其中两辆车的后门敞开,外面的地面上散落着一些看似大型黑色桶状物的东西。

A bomb disposal robot from the Army's specialist explosive ordnance disposal team was later seen moving between the three parked vans. Two vans' rear doors were open and what appeared to be large black barrels could be seen scattered outside.

位于格洛斯特郡的英国皇家空军费尔福德基地,是美军从欧洲展开行动的指挥前哨,并已被用于对伊朗导弹阵地实施美军空袭;这些阵地一直在袭击霍尔木兹海峡内的船只。

RAF Fairford, in Gloucestershire, is the US Air Force's command outpost for operations from Europe and has been used for American strikes on Iranian missile sites that have been attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The base was the subject of a warning from Iran's Revolutionary Guard in July, with the regime warning Britain not to allow US bombers to fly from the base.

7月,伊朗革命卫队曾就费尔福德基地发出警告,伊朗政权警告英国,不得允许美国轰炸机从该基地起飞。

Counter-terrorism police are understood to be leading the investigation into the incident amid suspicions a potential attack may have been foiled.

据称,反恐警察正牵头调查此次事件;外界怀疑,一场潜在的袭击或许已被挫败。

Counter-terrorism police are understood to be leading the investigation into the incident amid suspicions a potential attack may have been foiled.

今天早上,五名男子在拉夫福德空军基地(RAF Fairford)附近被捕,当时他们赤裸上身。根据《爆炸物法》,他们涉嫌使用三辆面包车作为炸弹载体。由于他们在被捕时赤裸上身,因此也被怀疑携带了自杀式炸弹背心。这些男子被制服后戴上手铐,被安置在路边等待处理。为应对这一威胁,安保人员立即调来了陆军炸弹处理专家和特种空勤团(SAS)进行处置。随后,陆军的专业爆炸物处理小组派出了一台机器人,在这三辆面包车附近进行排查;其中两辆面包车的后门处于打开状态,附近还发现了黑色物品。

Five men were pictured shirtless near RAF Fairford after being arrested this morning under the Explosives Act The men are suspected of using three vans, also seen in this morning's footage as vehicle bombs and, because they were shirtless during their arrest, are suspected of wearing suicide vests The group was rounded up and put in handcuffs sat on the road as security bosses sent in Army bomb experts and the SAS to tackle the threat A bomb disposal robot deployed by the Army's specialist explosive ordnance disposal team was later seen operating near the three vans The robot probed the vans, two of which had their rear doors open, as black items were pictured nearby Footage taken by a resident of nearby Whelford at 2.10am today shows the men in cuffs with a bright light shining in their faces, while another picture shows the three vans they are suspected to have used.

今天凌晨2点10分,附近居民韦尔福德(Whelford)拍摄的视频显示,这些男子被戴上手铐,强光照射在他们脸上;另一张照片则拍到了他们涉嫌使用的那三辆面包车。

Residents numbering around 40 to 50 were evacuated from the nearby Cotswolds countryside as armed police and the SAS swooped in while the Army's specialist explosive ordnance disposal team searched for more bombs.

在武装警察和特种空勤团赶到现场的同时,大约40至50名当地居民被从附近的科茨沃尔兹(Cotswolds)地区疏散。陆军的专业爆炸物处理小组正在继续搜寻其他可能的炸弹。

A Government spokesman said Prime Minister Andy Burnham was being 'kept updated' from Liverpool, where the Labour Party conference is getting under way today.

政府发言人表示,首相安迪·伯纳姆(Andy Burnham)正在利物浦接受实时情况通报,因为工党全国代表大会正在那里举行。

The incident will raise fresh questions over the thorny decisions to be made on defence by Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his Chancellor John Healey at the Budget next month.

这一事件再次引发了关于安迪·伯纳姆及其财政大臣约翰·希利(John Healey)下个月在预算会议上将面临的棘手国防决策的讨论。

Mr Burnham's predecessor Keir Starmer initially refused to permit US bombers to use British bases after the outbreak of the Iran war in February, drawing the ire of President Donald Trump, who said the former Labour leader was 'no Winston Churchill'.

伯纳姆的前任基尔·斯塔默(Keir Starmer)在2月份伊朗战争爆发后,最初拒绝允许美国轰炸机使用英国基地,此举引发了唐纳德·特朗普总统的愤怒,特朗普称这位前工党领袖“根本不是温斯顿·丘吉尔”。不过基尔·斯塔默后来改变了立场,于3月允许美国出于“特定且有限的防御目的”在伊朗境内摧毁伊朗导弹。

Sir Keir soon relented and gave the US permission in March for the 'specific and limited defensive purpose' of destroying Iranian missiles 'at source'. RAF Fairford has reportedly been put on Delta alert, the highest threat level used by Washington's Department of Defense. Meanwhile security has been tightened at other US bases in the UK, with reports that RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk has been placed on Charlie alert, the second-highest threat level.

据报道,拉夫福德空军基地已被提升至“Delta级警戒状态”——这是美国国防部使用的最高级别警戒级别。

A spokesman for the 48th Fighter Wing told the Daily Mail: 'We constantly assess a variety of factors that determine what measures are implemented or modified.

与此同时,英国其他美军基地的安保级别已提升,据报道,位于萨福克郡的拉肯希斯皇家空军基地已进入“查理”警戒状态,这是仅次于最高级别的威胁等级。

'Please be assured that the Tri-Base area (RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell) remains vigilant and will take appropriate action to ensure the safety and security of US service members, US and UK civilians, contractors, and their families.' The resident who pictured the group's arrest told this newspaper: 'I was asleep and was woken up by shouting coming from outside.

第48战斗机联队的一名发言人告诉《每日邮报》:“我们持续评估各种因素,以决定实施或调整何种措施。

'Please be assured that the Tri-Base area (RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell) remains vigilant and will take appropriate action to ensure the safety and security of US service members, US and UK civilians, contractors, and their families.'

今晨,武装警察在费尔福德皇家空军基地附近的韦尔福德村 今晨,武装警察在费尔福德皇家空军基地。警方封锁了由美空军运营的该空军基地的入口“我听不清喊的是什么,但当我走近窗户时,看到警车的蓝色闪烁灯光照亮了道路。“路的一边,警员让五名男子排成一排。他们全都脱掉了上衣。

'On one side of the road, officers had five men lined up. They all had their shirts removed. 'They were instructed to sit down. They were patted down by the officers and then had their shoes and socks removed. 'I think they must have been there for about half an hour. The suspects were then told to get up and were walked round the corner. 'I lost sight of them after that but I presumed they were put in police vans and led away. This all happened just outside the perimeter of RAF Fairford.

“他们被命令坐下。警员对他们进行拍身搜查,随后又让他们脱掉鞋袜。

“警方正在调查离我家几百码远处停放的三辆工程车。我们没被告知太多情况,只是清晨被要求撤离家园。” 警方是在凌晨接到一名机智居民举报,称发现男子“表现可疑”而赶赴现场的。

Julian Tudsbery, who has lived in Whelford for 30 years, said a resident had reported three 'suspicious vans' in the village. 'Evidently, they phoned the airbase police, who didn't answer the phone,' he said. 'It just rang out so she dialled 999.' Road blocks and armed police have been in place near the base in recent days and emergency vehicles are parked nearby.

朱利安·塔兹伯里在韦尔福德居住了30年,他说一名居民曾报告村里出现了三辆“可疑货车”。

'Evidently, they phoned the airbase police, who didn't answer the phone,' he said. 'It just rang out so she dialled 999.' Road blocks and armed police have been in place near the base in recent days and emergency vehicles are parked nearby.

“显然,他们给空军基地警察打了电话,但没人接听,”他说,“电话一直响,所以她拨打了999报警电话。”近几天,基地附近设置了路障并部署了武装警察,急救车辆停在附近。

A witness said armed police had blocked access to the base's main gate and around 30 police cars, ambulances and fire engines were in the village of Fairford. Earlier a vehicle, apparently a tractor, was pictured blocking a gate at the base.

一名目击者称,武装警察封锁了基地正门通道,费尔福德村内聚集了约30辆警车、救护车和消防车。早些时候,有一辆疑似拖拉机的车辆被拍到堵在基地大门处。

Outside the leisure centre to which residents were evacuated earlier, one of their number said he heard a helicopter over Whelford at 1.30am. Jason, who did not want to give his surname, said there were messages on a village group chat about vans blocking a lane nearby.

在居民早前被疏散至的休闲中心外,一名居民表示他在凌晨1点30分听到直升机在韦尔福德上空飞行。

The 50-year-old said he went to bed before being woken at 6am by police at his door and evacuated.

不愿透露姓氏的杰森说,村里的群聊里有消息称附近小巷被货车堵塞。

Having lived in the village for three years, he said he found it 'pretty safe' but added some other residents had noticed increased police patrols recently.

这位50岁的居民表示,他在凌晨6点被敲门的警察叫醒并疏散前,刚上床睡觉。

一辆疑似拖拉机的车辆今天上午堵住了费尔福德皇家空军基地的一座大门。国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷就此事表示:“我们可以放心,此事正在处理中。”

A vehicle which appeared to be a tractor blocked a gate at RAF Fairford this morning Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said of the incident: 'We can be reassured that this is being dealt with.' Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed the incident was 'contained' on She wrote: 'I would like to thank emergency services for their swift response to the major incident in Gloucestershire this morning and their reassurance that they believe the incident is contained.

内政大臣夏巴娜·马哈茂德确认该事件已“得到控制”。她写道:“我想感谢应急服务部门对今天上午格洛斯特郡重大事件的迅速反应,以及他们让人放心的确认,认为事件已得到控制。”由于调查正在进行,进一步置评并不合适。

6月,美国政府表示将斥资约5亿美元(3.77亿英镑)用于该基地的“扩建和军事基础设施”,据了解其中包括新建机库综合体。

'Whilst investigations are ongoing it would be inappropriate to comment further.' In June, the US government said it would spend around $500million (£377million) on 'expansion and military infrastructure' at the base, understood to include a new hangar complex.

一个月前,原定于7月在该基地举行的皇家国际航空展取消了,此前皇家空军慈善信托企业(RAFCTE)表示,“中东地缘政治局势升级”导致费尔福德皇家空军基地的“实际作战任务大幅增加”。

A month earlier the Royal International Air Tattoo, set to be held at the base in July, was cancelled after the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises (RAFCTE) said the 'escalating geopolitical situation in the Middle East' had required a 'significant increase in real-world operational missions' from RAF Fairford.

RAFCTE表示,英国皇家空军和美国空军都需要“保持基地不受限制、全天候24/7的作战准备状态”。

RAFCTE said both the Royal and US air forces needed to 'maintain unrestricted, 24/7 operational readiness at the base'.

在美国和以色列于2月28日与伊朗开战后不久,费尔福德皇家空军基地周边道路被关闭,以“解决安全和通行问题”。

Shortly after the US and Israel began the war with Iran on February 28, roads surrounding RAF Fairford were closed in a bid to 'address safety and access issues'.

三月,基地周边围栏上安装了防护屏以阻止拍摄,此前随着美军轰炸机开始抵达,这里成了飞机观察爱好者的热门地点。

Protective screens were mounted on the base's perimeter fences in March to stop filming after it became popular with plane spotters when US bombers began arriving.

当月,基地内的美军人员被拍到在准备炸药,当时华盛顿正在加强对伊朗的打击。

That month US military personnel at the base were pictured preparing explosives at the base as Washington intensified strikes on Iran.
