德國追捕突尼斯籍卡車恐襲疑犯
A manhunt is under way across Europe after German authorities issued an appeal for information about the suspect in Monday’s deadly attack on a Berlin Christmas market.
德國政府就週一柏林聖誕集市致命襲擊案疑犯發出通緝令後，一場追捕行動正在歐洲各國展開。
The federal prosecutor issued a European-wide alert yesterday for a 24-year-old Tunisian man, Anis Amri, warning that he could be armed and dangerous.
昨日，聯邦檢察官對24歲的突尼斯籍男子阿尼斯.阿姆裏(Anis Amri)發出全歐範圍通緝令，並警告他可能持有武器且非常危險。
German authorities said they had tried to deport Mr Amri earlier this year but were unable to do so because Tunisia refused to recognise him as a citizen.
德國政府表示，他們在今年早些時候曾試圖將阿姆裏驅逐出境，但並未成功，因爲突尼斯方面拒絕承認其爲該國公民。
The prosecutor is offering a EURO100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Documents identifying Mr Amri were found in the cab of the truck used in Monday’s assault.
德國檢方懸賞10萬歐元緝捕阿姆裏。在週一襲擊所用卡車的駕駛室內發現了可證明阿姆裏身份的文件。
Ralf Jäger, interior minister for the region of North Rhine-Westphalia, where the suspect once lived, said he had earlier been investigated in Berlin on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack but the probe had been closed.
來自該疑犯曾經居住過的北萊茵-威斯特法倫州的內政部長拉爾夫.雅格(Ralf Jäger)表示，此人早先曾因涉嫌準備發動恐怖襲擊在柏林遭到調查，但那項調查已結束。
The suspect’s story illustrates the problems Germany has encountered in trying to deport migrants whose asylum applications are unsuccessful. It is also indicative of the broader security challenge posed by the influx of refugees into Germany during the past two years, many of them from Muslim countries in the Middle East.
這名疑犯的經歷顯示出德國在試圖驅逐無法成功申請庇護的移民時遭遇的難題。這件事還表明了過去兩年大量涌入的難民（其中許多來自中東的穆斯林國家）給德國帶來的整體安全挑戰。
Angela Merkel, chancellor, said this week it would be “particularly sickening” for the “many, many Germans who every day help refugees” if the perpetrator turned out to be an asylum seeker.
德國總理安格拉.默克爾(Angela Merkel)本週表示，對每天都幫助難民的很多德國人來說，如果行兇者最終被證明是一名尋求避難者，那將“特別令人噁心”。
Mr Jäger said German authorities rejected the Tunisian man’s application for asylum in June, but he could not be deported as he did not have a valid passport.
雅格表示，今年6月，德國政府拒絕了這名突尼斯男子的避難申請，但無法將其驅逐出境，因爲他沒有有效護照。
Germany asked the Tunisian authorities to issue him with the necessary papers, but they initially refused, saying he was not Tunisian. “The papers were not issued for a long time. They arrived today. I do not want to comment further on this fact,” Mr Jäger said.
德國方面曾要求突尼斯當局向阿姆裏發放必要的身份證件，但後者起先表示拒絕，稱其並非突尼斯人。“身份證件好久都沒發來。今天剛到。我不想對此再做評價，”雅格說。
He added that Mr Amri, who arrived in Germany in July 2015, had been on the radar of several German security agencies because of apparent links to Islamist extremists. Prosecutors in Berlin had investigated him on suspicion of planning a “serious state-endangering crime”, Mr Jäger added.
雅格補充說，2015年7月抵達德國的阿姆裏，曾因與伊斯蘭主義極端分子有明顯聯繫而進入多個德國安全機構的視線。他還表示，柏林檢方曾因涉嫌策劃“嚴重危害國家的犯罪”對他進行調查。
