伦敦,10月13日——英国国内情报负责人周二表示,伊朗正加大力度试图袭击英国更硬的目标,如军事设施,而俄罗斯则在向乌克兰盟友发泄不满之际升级其混合战。
LONDON, Oct 13 - Iran is ramping up attempts to hit harder targets such as military sites in Britain while Russia is escalating its hybrid warfare as it lashes out against Ukraine's allies, the UK's domestic spy chief said on Tuesday.
在关于对英国广泛威胁的年度演讲中,军情五处(MI5)总干事肯·麦卡勒姆还表示,对人工智能被滥用最大的担忧是恐怖分子能够开发生物武器,甚至创造新型病原体。
In his annual speech on wide-ranging threats to Britain, MI5's Director General Ken McCallum also said the greatest concern about the misuse of AI was terrorists being able to develop bioweapons or even create new novel pathogens.
麦卡勒姆表示,过去十年间国家威胁已增加四倍,这意味着他的组织现在投入该问题的资源比冷战时期还要多。
McCallum said state threats had quadrupled over the last decade meaning his organisation now devoted more resources to the issue than during the Cold War.
周一,英国首相安迪·伯纳姆表示,德黑兰“极有可能”涉嫌策划针对皇家空军费尔福德基地的阴谋,该基地曾被美军轰炸机用于对伊朗实施打击。这引发了大规模安全警报,并导致美国总统特朗普从该空军基地撤回飞机。
On Monday, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Tehran was "highly likely" behind a suspected plot against RAF Fairford, which had been used by US bombers to carry out strikes on Iran. It prompted a massive security alert and led to US President Trump withdrawing planes from the air base.
麦卡勒姆表示,由于调查正在进行,他无法谈论费尔福德事件,但他表示,今年在“伊朗企图攻击更硬目标,如军事设施”方面发生了重大转变。
McCallum said he could not speak about the Fairford incident because of an ongoing investigation, but he said there had been a major shift this year in "Iranian ambitions to come at harder targets, like military sites".
他说:“皇家空军费尔菲尔德事件……并非孤例。不仅在英国,世界各地都发生过其他类似案例。”
"The RAF Fairfield incident ... is not unique. There have been other examples, not just in the UK but around the world," he said.
关于同样否认参与在英国敌对行动的俄罗斯,英国情报负责人称其仍是“头号侵略者”。
On Russia, which likewise denies involvement in hostile acts in Britain, the UK spy chief said it remained the "aggressor number one".
他呼应了其他欧洲情报机构的评论,称俄罗斯正在使用仅低于常规冲突的战术,并援引了德国机场货机遭无人机袭击未遂事件和波兰能源基础设施遭网络攻击事件。
He echoed comments from other European spy agencies that Russia was using tactics just short of conventional conflict, citing the attempted drone attack on a cargo plane at a German airport and a cyber attack on Polish energy infrastructure.
他说:“俄罗斯侵略者试图动摇其他欧洲国家本土的稳定,正值其在乌克兰的军事进展微乎其微且代价惨重,这绝非偶然。”
"It's no accident that Russian aggressors are trying to unsettle other European homelands at a time when their military progress in Ukraine is minimal and horrifically costly," he said.
