美国司法部（DOJ）周二公布的一项联邦起诉书显示，三名涉嫌受伊朗支持的恐怖分子策划袭击一处驻扎美军的英国空军基地，计划使用装载燃油桶的货车实施袭击。
Three suspected Iran-backed terrorists plotted an attack on a British air base housing American troops using vans carrying barrels of fuel, according to a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday by the Justice Department (DOJ).
这项八项罪名的补充起诉书指控穆罕默德·巴克尔·萨德·达乌德·阿尔萨迪、穆赫森·穆贾德利和穆罕默德·阿里·阿尔哈萨尼犯有与伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）和真主党旅相关的恐怖主义罪行。检察官称，嫌疑人针对的是英国的费尔福德皇家空军基地，该基地驻扎着美军飞机和人员。
The eight-count superseding indictment charges Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, Mohsen Mohajeri and Mohammad Ali Al-Hassani with terrorism-related offenses tied to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Kata'ib Hizballah. Prosecutors say the suspects targeted RAF Fairford in England, where U.S. military aircraft and personnel were stationed.
“任何人若策划针对驻扎美军人员的军事基地的恐怖阴谋，都将受到美国政府的起诉，”司法部长托德·布兰奇在一份新闻稿中表示。
"Anyone who plans a terrorist plot on a military base housing American servicemembers will be prosecuted by the United States government," Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a news release.
据起诉书，阿尔哈萨尼去年八月指示其在英国的同伙对费尔福德皇家空军基地进行监视，并付钱给一名个人拍摄基地周界的视频。
According to the indictment, Al-Hassani directed associates in the United Kingdom to conduct surveillance of RAF Fairford in August, paying one individual to record video of the base's perimeter.
检察官称，嫌疑人的同伙后来弄到了三辆货车和燃油桶，研究了化学助燃剂，并购买了可用作爆炸碎片的金属物品。他们还用商业贴纸伪装货车，使其看起来像燃油配送和游泳池用品供应企业的车辆。
The suspects' associates later obtained three vans and barrels of fuel, researched chemical accelerants and purchased metal objects that could be used as explosive shrapnel, prosecutors said. They also disguised the vans with commercial decals to resemble vehicles belonging to fuel delivery and swimming pool supply businesses.
据称，九月二十六日，阿尔哈萨尼指示同伙驾驶三辆货车驶向基地。至少有两辆车遇到安保路障，无法继续前进。英国当局收回了所有三辆车辆，并于次日早晨逮捕了车上人员。
On Sept. 26, Al-Hassani allegedly directed associates to drive the three vans toward the base. At least two encountered a security roadblock and were unable to proceed. British authorities recovered all three vehicles and arrested their occupants the following morning.
检察官指控，阿尔萨迪在纽约等待另一起恐怖主义指控的审判期间，从监狱中协调了这次行动，他通过与伊拉克家人的电话通话，向共谋者传递暗号信息。
Prosecutors allege Al-Saadi helped coordinate the operation while imprisoned in New York awaiting trial on separate terrorism charges, using telephone calls with family members in Iraq to relay coded messages to his co-conspirators.
在9月24日的通话中，阿尔-萨阿迪据称询问了阿尔-哈萨尼的情况，并指示亲属“给他（哈萨尼）钱，这样我们就能实施”。据称的阴谋紧随3月和4月在欧洲发生的一系列袭击之后，检方称被告们帮助为一个伊朗倾向的恐怖网络组织这些袭击。这些袭击的目标包括犹太教堂、犹太组织、救护车和以色列大使馆，并且在伦敦发生了对两名犹太男子的刺杀。
During a Sept. 24 call, Al-Saadi allegedly asked about Al-Hassani and instructed relatives to "give him [al-Hassani] money so we can do it." The alleged plot followed a series of attacks across Europe in March and April that prosecutors say the defendants helped organize on behalf of an Iran-aligned terrorist network. Those attacks targeted synagogues, Jewish organizations, ambulances and an Israeli embassy, and included the stabbing of two Jewish men in London.
阿尔-萨阿迪是伊朗-伊拉克双重国籍人士，5月在国外被逮捕并移交美国羁押。检方此前指控他帮助指挥了大约18起欧洲袭击，并试图协调对曼哈顿一座犹太教堂的攻击。
Al-Saadi, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national, was arrested abroad in May and transferred to U.S. custody. Prosecutors previously accused him of helping direct approximately 18 attacks in Europe and attempting to coordinate an attack on a Manhattan synagogue.
三名被告面临包括阴谋向外国恐怖组织提供物质支持、资助恐怖主义以及阴谋炸毁公共场所等指控。部分指控的最高刑期为终身监禁。
The three defendants face charges including conspiracy to provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, financing terrorism and conspiracy to bomb a place of public use. Some charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.
