伦敦，10月23日电 —— 伦敦一家法庭周五获悉，两名伊朗籍男子将于明年受审，被控受一名据信身在伊朗的人物指使，策划利用自制炸弹袭击英格兰北部的犹太社区。
LONDON, Oct 23 - Two Iranian nationals are due to go on trial next year charged over an alleged plot to use a homemade bomb to attack the Jewish community in northern England at the behest of a figure believed to be based in Iran, a London court was told on Friday.
34岁的拉赫曼·萨利希和36岁的萨拉姆·阿赫马迪安出席了伦敦老贝利法院的聆讯，被控准备实施恐怖主义行为。两名被告的律师向法庭表示，二人均意图作无罪抗辩。
Rahman Salehi, 34, and Salam Ahmadyan, 36, appeared at London's Old Bailey court accused of preparing acts of terrorism. The lawyers for the two men told the court that both intended to plead not guilty.
检察官林登·哈里斯称，警方发现这两名男子在犹太历最神圣的日子赎罪日前夕的9月，拍摄曼彻斯特犹太场所的照片和视频。
Prosecutor Lyndon Harris said the men were allegedly seen by police taking photos and video of Jewish sites in Manchester, on the eve of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, in September.
哈里斯补充说，控方案情指称：“这是为实施恐怖主义行为、袭击曼彻斯特犹太社区而进行的侦察准备。”
Harris added that the prosecution case was that "this was reconnaissance in preparation for an act of terrorism, an attack on the Jewish community in Manchester".
他说，两名被告被指控与一名第三方保持联系，该第三方据信身在伊朗，涉嫌提供了一份文件，指示如何用氯气和刹车油组装自制爆炸装置。
He said the men were accused of being in contact with a third party, believed to be based in Iran, who it was alleged provided a document with instructions on how to assemble a homemade explosive device made from chlorine and brake fluid.
检方在早前的聆讯中称，涉嫌袭击目标包括曼彻斯特犹太博物馆和希顿公园犹太教堂，后者是近一年前一起致命袭击的现场，当时两名犹太教信徒遇害。法庭告知两名被告，审讯定于明年6月15日在曼彻斯特开始。
Prosecutors said at a previous hearing that their alleged targets included the Manchester Jewish Museum and Heaton Park synagogue, the scene of a deadly attack almost a year ago in which two Jewish worshippers were killed. The two men were told their trial was listed to start in Manchester on June 15 next year.
