在连续数天的炸弹威胁导致欧洲各地航班停飞后,爱尔兰的媒体机构于周五也被列入了威胁目标名单。
Following days of bomb threats grounding flights across Europe, media institutions in Ireland were added to the list of targets on Friday.
爱尔兰公共广播机构爱尔兰广播电视台(RTE)表示,其大楼在接到炸弹威胁后已被疏散。其他媒体组织也正在采取安全措施。
Irish public broadcaster Raidio Teilifis Eirean (RTE) said that its buildings had been evacuated after receiving a bomb threat. Other media organizations were also taking security measures.
这些威胁发生在都柏林举办与其他欧盟成员国的高层会议前两天,目前都柏林担任欧盟轮值主席国。
The threats come two days before Dublin, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, hosts a high-level meeting with other bloc members.
一名RTE记者称,声称对周五炸弹威胁负责的团体,就是本周早些时候向航空公司发送威胁的同一个团体。爱尔兰官员如何评价针对媒体网络的炸弹威胁?
An RTE reporter said the group that claimed to be behind Friday's bomb threats was the same that had sent threats to airlines earlier in the week. What did Irish officials say about bomb threats against media networks?
“我们目前尚不清楚这是个人所为,还是某种形式的协同行动,”爱尔兰副总理西蒙·哈里斯对Cork 96FM电台表示。
"We don't yet know whether it's an individual behind this effort, or some form of a co-ordinated effort," Irish Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris told Cork 96FM radio.
他说这是一个“严重且事态仍在发展”的局势。爱尔兰总理米霍尔·马丁称事态发展“令人担忧”,但表示爱尔兰国家警察队和国防军正在调查威胁背后的主使。
He said it was a "serious and evolving situation." Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin called the developments "worrying," but said the Gardai (Irish police) and Defense Forces were looking into who was behind the threats.
他还敦促收到类似威胁的任何组织严肃对待并向警方报案,以便警方能“掌握事态全貌”。RTE援引马丁的话说:“这只是说明,通过此类旨在制造混乱、旨在引发恐惧和焦虑的非常规活动,要造成破坏并破坏社会正常运转,可以是多么相对容易。”
He also urged any organization that receives a similar threat to take it seriously and report it to the police so they can have a "picture of what's happening." "It just illustrates how relatively simple it can be to cause disruption and to undermine the normal operation of society through unconventional activities of this kind, which are designed to cause disruption, designed to cause fear and anxiety," RTE cited Martin as saying.
当被问及是否与即将在都柏林举行的欧盟会议有关时,总理(也称为Taoiseach)表示,保持让此类会议按计划进行的能力很重要。
Asked about any possible connection with the European Union meetings coming up in Dublin, the prime minister, also known as the Taoiseach, said it was important to maintain the ability to let such meetings go ahead.
“我们国家同时在任的总理人数创下历史新高,这确实需要非常重大的安保行动。” 更多航班收到炸弹威胁 本周有二十多个航班受到威胁影响,周五又有进一步事件被报告。丹麦和捷克警方对相关威胁作出反应,最终证实均为虚假。
"We have the largest number of prime ministers ever at the one time in our country, and that does call for very significant security operations." Further bomb threats made to flights More than two dozen flights were affected by threats this week, with further incidents reported on Friday. Police in Denmark and the Czech Republic responded to threats that ultimately proved to be false.
罗马尼亚航空公司塔罗姆航空一架从布拉格飞往布加勒斯特的航班收到威胁,但该航班在其预定目的地降落,随后官方认定威胁为虚假。
A flight operated by the Romanian carrier Tarom going from Prague to Bucharest received a threat, but landed at its intended destination before officials deemed it false.
哥本哈根警方表示,他们连续第二天前往机场“处理针对航空交通的威胁”,但乘客未受危险,航班也未受干扰。
Police in Copenhagen said they had been to the airport for the second day in a row "in connection with threats directed at air traffic" but that there had been no danger to passengers or disruption to flights.
虽然炸弹威胁并不罕见,但在短时间内出现如此一波威胁属于不寻常情况,尤其是在与俄罗斯的地缘政治紧张局势升级、一波混合袭击给欧洲带来动荡的背景下。
While bomb threats are not uncommon, such a wave of threats being made in a short period of time is unusual, especially amid increasing geopolitical tensions with Russia and a wave of hybrid attacks that have brought disruption to Europe.
