哈瓦那—— 古巴当局周一表示，今年2月，一群试图从美国强行进入古巴的男子已供认罪行，并配合调查人员的调查。他们还称，法医鉴定结果显示缴获的武器和爆炸物具有极高的破坏力，完全可以被用于实施犯罪。
ANDREA RODRÍGUEZ HAVANA — A group of men captured in February after attempting to enter Cuba by force from the United States have confessed and cooperated with investigators, Cuban authorities said Monday, adding that forensic examinations found the seized weapons and explosives were powerful and operational.
据古巴内政部国家安全部门的弗朗西斯科·埃斯特拉达·波塔莱斯（Francisco Estrada Portales）上校告诉美联社，这些男子可能面临与恐怖主义相关的指控，因为他们使用了致命的装置和爆炸物。根据古巴刑法，此类罪行最高可判处死刑；不过埃斯特拉达表示，检方尚未提出具体的量刑建议。古巴已经几十年没有执行过死刑了。
The men could face terrorism-related charges involving deadly devices and explosives under Cuba’s penal code, Col. Francisco Estrada Portales, an official with the Interior Ministry’s State Security department, told The Associated Press. The offenses can carry the death penalty, but Estrada said prosecutors had not yet requested specific sentences. Cuba has not carried out an execution in decades.
当局称，这艘快艇上载有10名来自美国的古巴籍人员，他们于2月25日试图进入古巴领海，并向试图拦截他们的古巴海岸警卫队船只开火。在交火中，3名袭击者死亡，另1名袭击者后来因伤不治身亡。事发地点位于古巴北部海岸的法尔科内斯角（Cayo Falcones）以东北方向约1.6公里（1英里）处。
A speedboat carrying 10 men of Cuban origin from the United States attempted to enter Cuban waters on Feb. 25 and opened fire on a Cuban coast guard vessel that tried to intercept it, authorities said. Three of the attackers were killed in the confrontation, and a fourth later died of his injuries. The boat was about 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) northeast of Cayo Falcones, off Cuba’s northern coast.
古巴海岸警卫队船只的船长也受了伤。当局还报告称，在陆地上逮捕了一名涉嫌为该团伙提供支持的人员。
The captain of the Cuban coast guard vessel was wounded. Authorities also reported arresting a person on land who allegedly provided support to the group.
这一事件发生之际，古巴与美国之间的紧张关系正在加剧：华盛顿方面对古巴实施了能源限制措施，旨在迫使古巴政府改变现行政策，并不排除采取军事行动的可能性。
The incident came as tensions between Cuba and the United States intensified, with Washington imposing energy restrictions on the island as part of its campaign to force a change in government and not ruling out military action.
此前，古巴内政部曾公开展示了从这些嫌疑人手中缴获的武器和装备，包括步枪、手枪、爆炸物、装有衣物和制服的背包、靴子、头盔、医疗用品、发电机、卫星通信设备以及数千发子弹。
Cuba’s Interior Ministry previously displayed weapons and equipment seized from the group, including rifles, handguns, explosives, backpacks containing clothing, uniforms, boots, helmets, medical supplies, food, an electric generator, satellite communications equipment and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
埃斯特拉达上校表示：“这些武器和爆炸物都处于良好的使用状态，随时可以用来造成伤害。”
“The weapons and explosives were all in good working condition and ready to be used to cause harm,” Estrada said.
埃斯特拉达表示，嫌疑人的供认和合作帮助调查人员确认，自2016年以来一直居住在美国的古巴人阿米哈伊尔·桑切斯开出了第一枪。桑切斯目前被拘留，去年被古巴提交给联合国的所谓恐怖分子名单所列。
Estrada said the suspects’ confessions and cooperation helped investigators determine that Amijail Sánchez, a Cuban who has lived in the United States since 2016, fired the first shots. Sánchez, who is in custody, was included on a list of alleged terrorists that Cuba submitted to the United Nations last year.
另一名被拘留的嫌疑人莱奥尔丹·克鲁兹也出现在古巴的恐怖分子名单上。
Another detained suspect, Leordan Cruz, also appears on Cuba’s terrorism list.
古巴当局向美联社展示了嫌疑人作出陈述的视频录像。美联社无法独立核实录像的内容或陈述作出的情况。
Cuban authorities showed AP video recordings of statements made by the suspects. AP could not independently verify the contents of the recordings or the circumstances under which the statements were made.
在一段录像中，克鲁兹表示，该团体的意图是控制一个区域并鼓励古巴人推翻政府。
In one recording, Cruz said the group intended to secure an area and encourage Cubans to overthrow the government.
埃斯特拉达说，古巴当局已将他们的调查结果与美国分享，但截至周一仍未收到回应。
Estrada said Cuban authorities had shared their findings with the United States but had received no response as of Monday.
