伦敦——一名检察官周六表示，两名伊朗男子对曼彻斯特一座犹太会堂进行了监视，该会堂一年前曾发生致命袭击事件，他们此举是今年实施炸弹袭击阴谋的一部分。
LONDON — Two Iranian men conducted surveillance of a Manchester synagogue that was the site of a deadly attack a year ago as part of a plot to bomb it this year, a prosecutor said Saturday.
法庭获悉，36岁的萨拉姆·阿赫马迪安和34岁的拉赫曼·萨莱希研究了袭击英格兰西北部曼彻斯特希顿公园会堂犹太会堂以及附近希思姆山犹太博物馆的计划。
Salam Ahmadyan, 36, and Rahman Salehi, 34, researched attacking the Heaton Park Congregation Synagogue in Manchester in northwest England and the Jewish Museum in nearby Cheetham Hill, the court was told.
阿赫马迪安和萨莱希于上月被捕，并于周五被指控从事为恐怖活动做准备的行为。
Ahmadyan and Salehi were arrested last month and charged Friday with engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorist acts.
两人在西敏治安法院出庭时均未作出认罪或无罪答辩，法官尼娜·坦皮亚下令将他们羁押，直至10月23日在伦敦中央刑事法院出庭。
Neither entered a plea during an appearance in Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where Judge Nina Tempia ordered them held until an Oct. 23 appearance at the Central Criminal Court in London.
检察官马克·拉克特表示，这两人受一名据信身处伊朗的第三人指使，该人负责协调计划，并提供制造自制氯气炸弹的指示。
Prosecutor Mark Luckett said the duo were directed by a third person believed to be in Iran who coordinated plans and provided instructions on making a homemade chlorine bomb.
拉克特称，被告被观察到在“曼彻斯特犹太社区内进行了敌意侦察”。
The defendants were observed carrying out “a hostile reconnaissance within Manchester’s Jewish community,” Luckett said.
希顿公园犹太会堂是2025年10月2日犹太教最神圣的日子——赎罪日——发生袭击事件的地点。当时，35岁的吉哈德·阿尔-沙米驾车冲撞会堂大门，随后佩戴假自杀腰带持刀行凶。
The Heaton Park synagogue was the site of an attack on Yom Kippur , the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, on Oct. 2, 2025, when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, crashed his car into the gates and then began a knife attack while wearing a fake suicide belt.
袭击导致会堂成员梅尔文·克拉维茨（66岁）和阿德里安·道尔比（53岁）死亡，另有三名男子受重伤。据称向“伊斯兰国”组织宣誓效忠的阿尔-沙米被警方击毙。
Congregation members Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, died in the attack and three other men were seriously wounded. Al-Shamie, who allegedly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, was killed by police.
法庭获悉，阿赫马迪安和萨莱希在过去六年内未经批准进入英国，他们乘船穿越英吉利海峡入境。萨莱希已获准庇护，而阿赫马迪安的庇护申请正在审理中。
Ahmadyan and Salehi entered the U.K. without authorization in the past six years after crossing the English Channel by boat, the court was told. Salehi was granted asylum and Ahmadyan has a pending asylum claim.
反恐警务高级国家协调员维姬·埃文斯表示，该阴谋据信是孤立事件，不存在持续的公共威胁。她还表示，此事与美国驻英费尔福德空军基地疑似恐怖阴谋无关，部分官员称该基地事件与德黑兰有关。
Vicki Evans, senior national coordinator of counterterror policing, said the plot was believed to be isolated and there was no ongoing public threat. She also said it was unconnected to a suspected terror plot at U.S.-run RAF Fairford air base, which some officials have said was linked to Tehran.
埃文斯表示：“我意识到，这一涉嫌阴谋的消息恰逢犹太教高圣期，引发了极大的担忧。这也与去年希顿公园犹太会堂遭受的毁灭性恐怖袭击一周年相重合，并且处于英国反犹事件日益增多的更大背景之下，因此我们非常清楚，这很可能会加剧犹太社区本已高度紧张的担忧情绪。”
“I’m aware that the news of this alleged plot coming during the High Holy Day period has caused a great deal of concern,” Evans said. “It also coincides with the anniversary of the devastating terrorist attack last year at Heaton Park synagogue and comes in a wider context of increasing antisemitic incidents across the U.K., so we are very aware that this will likely increase what were already heightened concerns amongst the Jewish community.”
