英国警方于10月8日星期四表示，他们在英格兰东南部一座设有美国和北约情报中心的军事基地内逮捕了两名拉脱维亚人，因围栏被突破。此事件发生在几天前英格兰西南部另一军事基地附近的事件之后。
UK police said Thursday, October 8, they had arrested two Latvians inside a military base in southeast England housing US and NATO intelligence hubs after the perimeter fence was breached. The incident comes days after an incident near another military base in southwest England.
反恐警方称，这两名男子，分别为36岁和32岁，在剑桥郡的皇家空军莫尔斯沃思基地被捕，现因涉嫌擅闯和以“对英国不利的目的”进入禁区而被拘留，两人均为居住在英国的拉脱维亚公民。
Counter-terrorism police said the two men, aged 36 and 32, were arrested at the Royal Air Force (RAF) Molesworth base in Cambridgeshire, southeast England. They are being held on suspicion of trespass and suspicion of entering a prohibited place "for a purpose prejudicial to the UK," said police. Both are Latvian nationals residing in the UK.
此逮捕发生在9月27日RAF费尔福德重大事件之后，当时七名二十多岁的男子被捕并已保释，其中一人是英伊双重国籍。随后美国撤回了驻费尔福德基地的B-1轰炸机。
The arrests come after a major incident at RAF Fairford on September 27 that led to the arrest of seven men, all in their 20s, who have since been released on bail. One is a dual UK-Iranian national. Following that incident, the United States withdrew its B-1 bombers stationed at the Fairford base.
反恐警务负责人海伦·弗拉纳根表示，“目前没有迹象表明此事件与上周RAF费尔福德的事件有关”，但当局“保持开放的态度”。
"At this stage there is nothing to suggest this incident is connected to the events at RAF Fairford last week," said counter-terrorism policing head Helen Flanagan. But the authorities were "keeping an open mind," she added in a statement.
RAF莫尔斯沃思曾是二战期间的空军基地，如今是美国空军管理的非飞行设施，也设有北约情报融合中心，网站称其拥有200多名员工；以及华盛顿在欧洲和非洲的情报行动，依据CIA网站。
RAF Molesworth, formerly a World War II airbase, is now a non-flying facility managed by the US Air Force. It also hosts the NATO Intelligence Fusion Centre, whose website says it has a workforce of more than 200; and Washington's intelligence operations in Europe and Africa, according to the CIA website.
警方称，一名安保巡逻员在基地附近发现一辆废弃车辆，随后发现“一个小的破口”，并在凌晨逮捕了两名男子。
Police said a security patrol had spotted an abandoned vehicle near the base and police found a "small breach" before arresting the men in the early hours of Thursday.
RAF费尔福德的威胁性质仍不明朗，但警方在三辆白色货车在其附近“可疑”行动后被召至现场。
The nature of the threat at RAF Fairford is still not clear but police were called to the site after three white vans were spotted acting "suspiciously" in its vicinity.
去年六月，亲巴勒斯坦活动者闯入另一座空军基地RAF布赖兹诺顿，并发布视频显示他们在一架飞机上喷红漆。
Last June, pro-Palestinian activists broke into another airbase, RAF Brize Norton in southern England, posting video showing them spraying a plane with red paint.
