伦敦,10月3日——英国反恐警察周六表示,他们已保释了一名因涉嫌策划恐怖活动而被捕的英伊双重国籍男子。

该男子此前因涉及美国使用的一个空军基地的可疑阴谋而受到调查。

LONDON, Oct 3 - British counter-terrorism police investigating a suspected plot involving an air base used by the US said on Saturday they had released on bail a dual UK-Iranian national who had been arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.

这名25岁的男子于周四被拘留,事件涉及上周末发生在英格兰西部皇家空军费尔福德基地的事件,美国轰炸机曾从该基地起飞对伊朗境内的目标进行空袭。警方证实该男子现已获释,对伦敦两处房产的搜查也已结束。警方在声明中表示,对格洛斯特郡事件相关情况的调查仍在继续。

The 25-year-old man was detained on Thursday over the incident last weekend involving the RAF Fairford base in western England from where US bombers have taken part in raids against targets in Iran. Police confirmed he had now been released, and searches at two properties in London had concluded. "The investigation into the circumstances surrounding events in Gloucestershire is continuing," police said in a statement.

该事件始于上周日凌晨,当时五名20多岁的英国男子因涉嫌恐怖主义和爆炸罪在三辆货车附近被捕。

The incident near Fairford began in the early hours of last Sunday when five British men in their 20s were arrested near three vans on suspected terrorism and explosive offences.

这些男子随后在“严格条件”下获保释,尽管侦探称在货车中发现了汽油,但并未发现简易爆炸装置。反恐警察称调查复杂,正在考虑是否有外国势力参与。首相安迪·伯纳姆周三表示,此事可能与伊朗有关。

The men were later released without charge on police bail "under stringent conditions", and although detectives said petrol was found in the vans, no improvised explosive device was present. Counter-terrorism police, who have described the investigation as complex, said they were considering whether a foreign state had been involved and Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Wednesday it might have had an Iranian link.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普称曾有计划对该空军基地造成“重大破坏”,美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥也指出该事件有“外国行为体”的参与。

US President Donald Trump has said there was a plan to cause "big damage" at the air base, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also pointed to the "hands of a foreign actor" in the incident.

伊朗表示有关其参与的指控毫无根据,并于周四就此问题召见了英国驻德黑兰大使。

Iran has said accusations it was involved were baseless and on Thursday summoned the British ambassador in Tehran over the issue.
