联邦检察官指控，一名伊朗恐怖代理组织指挥官与另外两名男子，在因其他待决恐怖主义指控受审而被羁押期间，协助策划了针对英国军事基地的疑似恐怖袭击阴谋。
Federal prosecutors allege that an Iranian terrorist proxy group’s commander, alongside two other men, assisted in orchestrating the suspected terror plot on a United Kingdom military base from jail while awaiting trial on other pending terrorism charges.
根据司法部近日发布的声明，拥有伊朗和伊拉克双重国籍的穆罕默德·巴克尔·萨阿德·达乌德·萨阿迪（Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi）在纽约狱中，据称与伊拉克籍的穆罕默德·阿里·哈萨尼（Mohammad Ali al-Hassani）和伊朗籍的穆赫森·穆哈杰里（Mohsen Mohajeri）进行协调，组织了近期针对费尔福德皇家空军基地（RAF Fairford）的未遂恐怖袭击。
From jail in New York, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national, allegedly coordinated with Mohammad Ali al-Hassani and Mohsen Mohajeri, an Iraqi and Iranian national, respectively, to organize the recent failed terror attack on RAF Fairford, according to a recent Department of Justice release.
根据一份八项罪名的起诉书，这三名男子涉嫌密谋以两个美国认定的“外国恐怖组织”伊朗支持的恐怖网络之名，在欧洲和美国实施近20起恐怖袭击和未遂袭击。
The three men allegedly conspired to commit nearly 20 terrorist attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the U.S. in the name of two Iran-aligned terrorist networks that are designated by the U.S. as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, per an eight-count indictment.
“即使他们的一名共谋者被捕并被联邦当局羁押，被告据称仍通过编码通讯和海外联络人网络继续协调恐怖活动，”纽约南区联邦检察官杰米·麦克唐纳（Jamie McDonald）在声明中说。“伊朗及伊朗支持的恐怖组织对美国及其盟友构成的威胁并非假设性的——它是非常真实的。”起诉书称，最近，因支持“真主党旅”（Kataib Hezbollah）和伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队的活动而面临恐怖主义相关指控的哈萨尼，据称策划了9月针对费尔福德皇家空军基地的阴谋，当时该基地驻扎着为支持在伊朗的战争而部署的美军飞机和人员。
“Even after one of their co-conspirators was arrested and placed in federal custody, the defendants allegedly continued coordinating terrorist activity through coded communications and a network of associates overseas,” U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald for the Southern District of New York said in the release. “The threat presented by Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups to America and our allies is not hypothetical — it is very real.”The indictment says that most recently, al-Hassani, with terrorism-related offenses for their activities in support of Kataib Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, allegedly managed the September plot on RAF Fairford, which housed U.S. military aircraft and personnel at the time in support of the war in Iran.
在纽约南区，萨阿迪因待决恐怖主义指控被羁押候审，并试图通过第三方传递编码信息与哈萨尼和穆哈杰里通信。根据声明，哈萨尼和穆哈杰里当时均在伊朗，因此他们依靠英国的联络人网络实施针对费尔福德皇家空军基地的阴谋。
In the Southern District of New York, al-Saadi was in jail awaiting trial on pending terrorism charges and tried to correspond with al-Hassani and Mohajeri by passing coded messages through third parties. Al-Hassani and Mohajeri were both in Iran at the time of the attempted RAF Fairford scheme, so they relied on a network of contacts in the U.K., per the statement.
阿尔-萨迪于5月被起诉，罪名是与伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）、其他外国恐怖组织（FTO）以及“真主党旅”合作并为其效力。“真主党旅”是一个伊拉克民兵组织，阿尔-萨迪是该组织指挥官，并得到伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队支持。他还因参与策划和推动欧洲约18起恐怖袭击，以及企图炸毁纽约一座犹太教堂而被起诉。
Al-Saadi was charged in May for collaborating with and working on behalf of the IRGC, other FTOs and Kataib Hezbollah, an Iraqi militia group that he is the commander of and that is backed by the IRGC. He was also charged for his participation in planning and promoting around 18 terrorist attacks in Europe and for attempting to bomb a synagogue in New York.
起诉书指控，阿尔-哈萨尼和穆哈杰里（伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队特工）与阿尔-萨迪合作，协助并完成了许多欧洲恐怖袭击。检方指控，阿尔-哈萨尼利用其人脉和犯罪同伙在英国实施袭击。
The indictment alleges that al-Hassani and Mohajeri, an operative of the IRGC, worked with al-Saadi to facilitate and complete many of the European terrorist attacks. Al-Hassani used his contacts and criminal associates to carry out attacks in the U.K., prosecutors allege.
阿尔-萨迪于5月初在国外被捕，随后被移交美国羁押起诉，自抵达美国以来一直被联邦当局关押。在他被捕后的四个月里，没有新的袭击被归咎于这三名男子。
Al-Saadi was arrested abroad in early May and transferred to U.S. custody for prosecution, staying in federal custody since his arrival in the U.S. For four months following his arrest, there were no additional attacks attributed to the three men.
随后在8月，检方称阿尔-哈萨尼指挥并支付英国同伙，为“拉福德皇家空军基地”阴谋实施“准备步骤”，如对基地周界进行监视。次月，他还支付数人协助阴谹准备，如采购货车和燃油桶、研究化学促燃剂以及购买可用作炸弹破片的物品。
Then in August, prosecutors say that al-Hassani directed and paid associates in the U.K. to conduct “preparatory steps” for the RAF Fairford plot, such as surveillance of the base’s perimeter. The next month, he also paid several people to assist in the plot’s preparation, like procuring vans and barrels of fuel, researching chemical accelerants and purchasing items that could be used as explosive shrapnel.
据称在9月下旬，阿尔-哈萨尼指示人员驾驶三辆货车（部分装有燃油桶）前往拉福德皇家空军基地，但至少两辆在安保路障处受阻，未能继续前往基地。英国执法部门随后找回三辆白色货车并逮捕了相关人员。
In late September, al-Hassani supposedly told individuals to drive three vans, some with barrels of fuel inside, to RAF Fairford, but at least two encountered a security roadblock and were not able to continue to the base. U.K. law enforcement authorities later recovered three white vans and arrested the individuals.
据称，萨阿迪在狱中通过与伊拉克家人的电话通话，向哈萨尼和莫哈杰里传递了加密信息，时间是在拉夫费尔福德基地阴谋发生前几天。在未遂阴谋发生前三天，萨阿迪与家人通电话，询问哈萨尼的情况，并让他们给哈萨尼钱，“这样我们就能干了”。这份八项罪名的起诉书对三人共同列出六项指控，最高可判处90年监禁或终身监禁；另有两项指控仅针对萨阿迪，最高可判处20年监禁或终身监禁。
While in jail, al-Saadi allegedly used phone calls with his family in Iraq to pass coded messages to al-Hassani and Mohajeri in the days leading up to the RAF Fairford plot. Three days before the attempted plot, al-Saadi spoke with his family on the phone and inquired about how al-Hassani was doing, telling them to give him money so “we can do it.”The eight-count indictment lists six charges for all three with a total maximum penalty of 90 years in prison or life in prison, and two charges reserved only for al-Saadi, with a maximum of 20 years or life in prison.
