英國費爾福基地疑似恐攻案嫌犯曾報警,警方澄清未發現爆裂裝置

Quick Look

英國費爾福空軍基地27日疑似遭恐怖襲擊,警方逮捕5名英國籍男子,其中一人在農婦報案前已透過999報警。經搜查未發現爆裂裝置,僅發現汽油。美軍重型轟炸機進駐該基地,伊朗曾威脅將其視為攻擊目標。嫌疑人獲准保釋引發美國官員質疑,但警方強調決策以公眾安全為首要。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

費爾福基地是歐洲境內最大空軍基地之一,也是歐洲境內唯一有美軍重型轟炸機進駐的基地。今年2月美國對伊朗開戰以來,英方允許美軍自費爾福基地起飛,對伊朗執行「防衛性質」的打擊行動。德黑蘭方面因此揚言,將視費爾福基地為正當攻擊目標。

有美軍轟炸機進駐的英國費爾福(Fairford)空軍基地27日疑險遭恐攻,案情今天出現轉折。英國警方向媒體證實,其中一名嫌犯當天凌晨曾報警,且時間早於後來廣獲報導的在地農婦,嫌犯報案動機仍需進一步調查。

此外,英國反恐警務網(CTP)首長泰勒(Laurence Taylor)今天正式聲明,經過廣泛、深入的搜查,在空軍基地附近發現的可疑車輛內,未發現任何爆裂裝置,但找到一些汽油。

請繼續往下閱讀...

英國警方27日凌晨在英格蘭西南部費爾福基地周邊逮捕5名英國籍、年齡23至25歲的男性,他們涉嫌違反「爆裂物法」和「反恐法」、有對空軍基地發動攻擊之虞。

被捕男性皆來自倫敦。警方今天證實,已結束搜索倫敦相關住所。

費爾福基地是歐洲境內最大空軍基地之一,也是歐洲境內唯一有美軍重型轟炸機進駐的基地。

今年2月美國對伊朗開戰以來,英方允許美軍自費爾福基地起飛,對伊朗執行「防衛性質」的打擊行動。德黑蘭方面因此揚言,將視費爾福基地為正當攻擊目標。

泰勒今天表示,警方持續減少在基地周邊的封鎖和調查範圍,預計明天可完全解除封鎖,以利民眾生活盡速恢復正常。

至於外界議論5名嫌犯昨天獲警方准予保釋,泰勒強調,確保公眾安全是警方決策的首要考量,但他要重申,允許保釋嫌犯是警方基於辦案經驗,並審酌執法權力後的決定。

5名嫌犯獲釋消息昨天一出,美國總統川普(Donald Trump)在白宮回應記者提問時說,他對此感到驚訝,「我不會這麼做」。

美國國務卿盧比歐(Marco Rubio)則告訴「福斯新聞」(Fox News),許多人對嫌犯獲釋感到不安;英國境內原本可能發生「非常嚴重」的事,且「很清楚」是涉及外國勢力。

盧比歐未提供具體事證支持自己的說法。

耐人尋味的是,一名在基地周邊威爾福德村(Whelford)務農的在地婦女,27日凌晨駕車返家時,因為遭遇3輛白色廂型車擋住去路,以及有數名蒙面男子形跡可疑,決定撥打緊急事故專線999通報。

這名婦女後來批評,國安相關單位「失職」,還得靠民眾「幸好」湊巧在不尋常的時間看見不尋常的事,並發揮警覺、主動報案。國防大臣斯特里廷(Wes Streeting)回應,這名婦女僅看見事情的「部分圖像」。

農婦報案時間是27日凌晨1時36分左右。然而,反恐警察28日曾在聲明中提到,27日凌晨12時45分有民眾通報,指出3輛可疑白色廂型車疑似正駛往費爾福基地。

關於為何有時間差、報案者是否為同一人,警方今天才向媒體證實,接獲農婦通報前,27日凌晨12時45分已有人透過999報案,而且是後來被捕的5名嫌犯其中一人。

目前仍不清楚這名嫌犯的「報案」動機,以及按計畫27日當天原本該發生什麼事:完整落實預謀的攻擊行動、為攻擊行動預作準備(例如環境監測)、「預演」以測試相關單位的維安強度和密度,或者只是虛張聲勢,甚至是聲東擊西。嫌犯打電話「報案」是否為計畫一環,這一點也有待調查確認。

警方表示,目前有「多個」追查方向、不排除任何調查角度,例如不排除有外國政府代理人涉入,或者是一般人在知情或不知情的情況下,為外國勢力效勞。

Japan's strengthening of intelligence capabilities raises regional security concerns

The Japanese government held its first meeting of an expert meeting aimed at strengthening intelligence capabilities and breaking through postwar security constraints. Experts pointed out that by building an internal intelligence system and integrating into the U.S. and Western intelligence networks, Japan is trying to dedicate itself to defense and build a substantive war preparation system. This will undermine regional mutual trust, retrogress the peace system, and may be used to suppress domestic anti-war voices.

US troops withdraw from Iraq: What legacy will be left after 20 years of military presence? What happens next?

The United States plans to complete the withdrawal of its remaining troops from Iraq by September 30, ending more than 20 years of military presence. This troop withdrawal is based on the 2024 US-Iran Agreement and aims to end anti-ISIS operations. However, experts believe that the influence of the US military will not completely disappear. Iran’s support for militias and regional tensions will become key variables in the future.
