英國或將面臨《查理週刊》類似襲擊

Syrian-based terrorists are planning attacks in the UK similar to the one that killed 12 people at French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, a security chief has warned.

英國國內反情報機構軍情五處(MI5)處長安德魯•帕克(Andrew Parker)警告稱，敘利亞恐怖分子正計劃在英國發動與法國諷刺漫畫雜誌《查理週刊》(Charlie Hebdo)事件類似的襲擊，《查理週刊》恐怖襲擊導致12人遇難。

Andrew Parker — director-general of MI5, the UK’s domestic counter-intelligence service — said there had been more than 20 Syrian-linked terror plots against western targets in the past 14 months.

帕克表示，過去14個月發生過20多起針對西方的與敘利亞有關的恐怖陰謀。

In one of the starkest assessments from any western counterterror chief since the Syrian civil war broke out, Mr Parker said on Thursday evening that organisations including the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, known as Isis, were actively plotting attacks in the UK.

帕克週四晚間表示，包括“伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯蘭國”(Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant，簡稱Isis)在內的組織正在積極策劃對英國的襲擊事件，這是自敘利亞內戰爆發以來，西方反恐負責人發表的措辭最爲嚴厲的評論之一。

He said that more than 600 British jihadis were known to have travelled to fight in Syria — at least 100 more than previously thought.

他表示，據稱，有600多名英國聖戰分子赴敘利亞作戰，至少比之前預想的多100人。

The gun attack at the Charlie Hebdo’s offices in Paris on Wednesday was “a terrible reminder of the intentions of those who wish to harm us”, Mr Parker told a small audience of invited guests at Thames House, the headquarters of MI5. “We know that terrorists based in Syria harbour the same ambitions towards the UK.”

週三發生在《查理週刊》法國辦公室的可怕槍擊事件，“是提醒我們注意有人意圖要傷害我們”，帕克在軍情五處總部泰晤士大樓告訴人數不多的受邀嘉賓，“我們知道，敘利亞的恐怖分子對英國也有着同樣的企圖。”

Mr Parker said MI5 believed there had been “more than 20 terrorist plots either directed or provoked by extremist groups in Syria” against western targets since October 2013.

帕克表示，軍情五處認爲，自2013年10月以來，“有20多起由敘利亞極端組織指揮或煽動的”針對西方目標的“恐怖主義陰謀”。

He said some of the plots — such as the shooting dead of four people last May at the Brussels Jewish museum, allegedly by French citizen Mehdi Nemmouche — were successful but others had been foiled.

他表示，一些陰謀最終得逞，比如去年5月在布魯塞爾猶太人博物館4人被槍殺事件，據稱兇手爲法國公民邁赫迪•奈穆什(Mehdi Nemmouche)），但還有一些陰謀被挫敗。

The threat picture was more complex than ever, Mr Parker said. He stressed that as well as gun and knife attacks inspired and organised by jihadi groups, intelligence indicated that “mass casualty” spectacular atrocities were still being pursued by the al-Qaeda network.

帕克表示，目前的恐怖形勢比任何時候都更爲複雜。他強調，除了聖戰組織鼓動的槍擊和砍刀襲擊，情報顯示，基地組織(al-Qaeda)還在策劃“造成巨大傷亡”的大規模暴力事件。

As well as using British-born violent extremists sent back to the UK and Europe “as their instruments” to carry attacks out, Mr Parker said, Syrian-based groups were also having success in using their newfound influence and prowess online and in social media to influence or encourage individuals hitherto unconnected with their organisations to commit atrocities in “lone wolf” incidents.

帕克表示，這些在敘利亞的組織除了將在英國出生的暴力極端分子送回到英國和歐洲，把他們作爲發動襲擊的“工具”外，還成功利用其在互聯網和社交媒體新建的影響力和威力，影響或鼓勵那些與這些組織毫無聯繫的個人在“獨狼”行動中實施暴力活動。
