The United States has charged three men linked to Iran in relation to the major incident at RAF Fairford in the UK.
这起事件发生于9月27日,地点位于英格兰格洛斯特郡的费尔福德皇家空军基地附近。警方在该空军基地附近拦截了三辆装有燃油桶的可疑面包车。
The incident, which took place on September 27, occurred near RAF Fairford airbase in Gloucestershire, England. Police intercepted three suspicious vans near the Air Force base containing fuel barrels.
美国和英国当局怀疑这起被挫败的恐怖袭击阴谋与伊朗有关,而德黑兰则否认与该案有任何牵连。三人因涉嫌在费尔福德皇家空军基地恐袭阴谋中扮演角色而被起诉据司法部称,一份包含八项罪名的替代起诉书已被启封,指控伊朗与伊拉克双重国籍人员穆罕默德·巴克尔·萨阿德·达伍德·萨阿迪(Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi)、伊朗国籍人员穆赫森·穆哈杰里(Mohsen Mohajeri)以及伊拉克国籍人员穆罕默德·阿里·哈萨尼(Mohammad Ali al-Hassani)犯有与恐怖主义相关的罪行,因为他们开展了支持真主党旅和伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队的活动。
American and British authorities suspected an Iranian link to the foiled terror plot, while Tehran has denied any involvement in the case. Three men indicted for alleged role in RAF Fairford terror plot According to the DOJ, an eight-count superseding indictment was unsealed charging Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national; Mohsen Mohajeri, an Iranian national; and Mohammad Ali al-Hassani, an Iraqi national, with terrorism-related offences for their activities in support of Kata’ib Hizballah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).The three men have been accused of aiding the IRGC in planning terror attacks across the US and Europe, and the most recent one at RAF Fairford.RAF Fairford, while a British base, is used by the US Air Force for its bomber aircraft.
这三名男子被指控协助伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队策划在美国和欧洲的恐怖袭击,最近的一次袭击发生在费尔福德皇家空军基地。
费尔福德皇家空军基地虽然是一座英国基地,但被美国空军用于其轰炸机停放。据报道,该基地还曾用于美国与伊朗之间的持续冲突。
The base was also reportedly in use for the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran.“This eight-count indictment shows the determination of Iran to commit terrorist attacks in Europe and the U.S., including one plot that was recently prevented at RAF Fairfield, a British Royal Air Force Base where American forces were stationed,” said FBI director Kash Patel.
“这份包含八项罪名的起诉书表明了伊朗在欧洲和美国实施恐怖袭击的决心,其中包括最近在费尔福德皇家空军基地(一个驻扎有美军的英国皇家空军基地)阻止的一起阴谋,”联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔说。
Among the three operatives is Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, who sent out coded messages from a jail cell in New York to coordinate the foiled terror plot at RAF Fairford.
这三名特工之一是穆罕默德·巴克尔·萨阿德·达伍德·萨阿迪,他从纽约的一间牢房发出加密信息,以协调在费尔福德皇家空军基地被挫败的恐袭阴谋。萨阿迪是如何从监狱发送加密信息的据联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔称,萨阿迪目前身陷囹圄等待审判,“然而他据称仍发送加密信息以协助未来的暴力行为。”
How al-Saadi sent coded messages from jailAccording to FBI director Kash Patel, al-Saadi is behind bars awaiting trial "yet he allegedly sent coded messages to assist in future acts of violence."US Attorney Jamie McDonald for the Southern District of New York also noted that the operative continued to coordinate "terrorist activity through coded communications and a network of associates overseas."
美国纽约南区联邦检察官杰米·麦克唐纳也指出,这名特工继续“通过加密通信和海外同伙网络协调恐怖活动”。
As per the statement from the Justice Department, Al-Saadi used nicknames to direct his family members in Iraq to transfer money in support of the plot.
根据司法部的声明,萨阿迪使用化名指示他在伊拉克的家人转账以支持该阴谋。检察官补充说,他还要求家人将“工作”信息转达给穆哈杰里。当局称,这里的“工作”被认为是指代恐怖袭击。
Prosecutors added that he also asked his family members to pass along "work" messages to Mohajeri. Here, "work" is believed to have been used to describe terrorist attacks, claim authorities." On one of those calls, al-Saadi also asked his sister, “What are they doing about all our old work?” and asked her whether it had been cancelled or just put on pause. Al-Saadi’s sister responded that “it isn’t cancelled.”, noted DOJ.
司法部指出:“在其中一次通话中,萨阿迪还问他的妹妹:‘他们对我们所有的旧工作有什么处理意见?’并询问她是取消了还是只是暂停了。萨阿迪的妹妹回答说‘没有取消。’”检察官还指控萨阿迪曾与伊朗革命卫队圣城旅前指挥官卡西姆·苏莱马尼密切合作。
Prosecutors have also alleged that al-Saadi worked closely with former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Quds force, Qasem Soleimani.
检察官补充说,萨阿迪与伊朗前最高领袖阿亚图拉阿里·哈梅内伊“关系密切”,并在美国对伊朗发动战争前三天向他发出了“关于美国可能对伊朗发动打击的警告”。
Prosecutors added that al-Saadi was “close” to the former Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and warned him three days before the US launched its war “about a potential US strike against Iran.”
