英国警方周二表示,他们在伦敦逮捕了一名22岁的英国男子,他涉嫌准备与美国用来袭击伊朗的英国皇家空军费尔福德空军基地的疑似阴谋有关的恐怖行为。
UK police on Tuesday said they had arrested a 22-year old British man in London on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts in relation to the suspected plot at the RAF Fairford airbase used by the US to strike Iran.
英国警方周二表示,一名22岁男子在伦敦被捕,罪名是涉嫌准备恐怖行为,这是他们对美国用来打击伊朗的英国皇家空军基地费尔福德附近涉嫌阴谋的调查的一部分。
British police on Tuesday said a 22-year-old man had been arrested in London on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts as part of their investigation into a suspected plot near RAF Fairford, the airbase used by the US to strike Iran.
反恐警察部门表示,该男子在威斯敏斯特被捕,警方搜查了同一地区的一处房产。他仍被拘留。
Counter Terrorism Policing said the man was arrested in Westminster and officers had searched a property in the same area. He remains in custody.
此次逮捕是一项引起国际关注的调查中的最新一起,此前美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示,与伊朗有关的威胁随后促使美国B-1轰炸机撤离该基地。伊朗否认参与任何所谓的阴谋。
The arrest is the latest in an investigation that has drawn international attention after US President Donald Trump said a threat linked to Iran had subsequently prompted the removal of American B-1 bombers from the base. Iran has denied any involvement in any alleged plot.
国家反恐警务高级协调员维基·埃文斯周二表示:“这仍然是一项实时调查,我们的专家团队将继续对英国皇家空军费尔福德附近事件的情况进行多方面的调查。”
"This remains a live investigation and our specialist teams continue to pursue multiple lines of enquiry into the circumstances surrounding events near RAF Fairford," Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing Vicki Evans said on Tuesday.
此前因调查而被捕的六名20多岁男子,其中包括一名于10月1日被捕的英国和伊朗双重国民,目前仍在警方保释中。
Six men in their 20s, arrested previously in connection with the investigation, including a dual British-Iranian national arrested on October 1, remain on police bail.
目前尚不清楚为什么他们被捕一天后就被保释。英国反恐警务负责人劳伦斯·泰勒表示,他们面临严格的保释条件,“绝对仍在接受调查”。
It remains unclear why they were released on bail a day after their arrests. Laurence Taylor, the head of UK Counter Terrorism Policing, said they face stringent bail conditions and “absolutely remain under investigation”.
这一决定招致了特朗普的批评,他表示他感到惊讶,“不会”允许嫌疑人获释。
The decision drew criticism from Trump, who said he was surprised and “wouldn’t have” allowed the suspects to be freed.
9月27日早些时候,随着武装警察和军队拆弹专家突袭农村地区,数十名居民从基地附近的家中撤离。警方后来表示,他们在与五名嫌疑人有关的三辆货车中发现了大量助燃剂--汽油,但没有爆炸物。
Scores of residents were evacuated from their homes near the base early on September 27 as armed police officers and army bomb-disposal experts swooped on the rural area. Police later said they had found a quantity of an accelerant – gasoline – in three vans linked to the five suspects, but no explosives.
