中國駐舊金山領事館縱火犯稱聽到"陰間的聲音"

A Daly City man accused of lighting a fire at the Chinese consulate in San Francisco on New Year’s Day allegedly told FBI agents in an interview after his arrest that he had been hearing voices in Chinese, according to court documents.

據美國哥倫比亞廣播公司報道，根據法庭記錄，1日晚中國駐舊金山總領館縱火案嫌犯、來自加州戴利市的華裔美國公民馮嚴豐在接受美國聯邦調查局審問時說，他在作案前聽到用漢語發出的聲音。

Details of the interview were contained in an affidavit submitted by FBI agent Michael Eldridge with a criminal complaint filed by US prosecutors in federal court in San Francisco today against Yan Feng, 39, of Daly was charged in the complaint with two counts of maliciously damaging property by means of fire and willfully damaging property belonging to or occupied by a foreign government.

審問的各種細節都記錄在聯邦調查局特工邁克爾?埃爾德里奇（Michael Eldridge）遞交的一份書面陳述中，與刑事訴狀一起收錄在舊金山聯邦法庭對39歲的馮嚴豐提起的訴訟案卷中。馮被指控犯有縱火和蓄意破壞外國政府財產兩項罪狀。

Special Agent in Charge David Johnson, the chief of the FBI’s San Francisco office, announced today that Feng surrendered to authorities on Friday.

聯邦調查局舊金山辦公室負責人戴維?約翰遜戴維?約翰遜（David Johnson）今天宣佈，馮嚴豐是1月3日投案自首的。

The fire at the consulate, located at 1450 Laguna St., occurred at about 9:30 pm Wednesday. The building was damaged but no one was injured.

領事館縱火案發生在元旦晚上九點半，地點在拉古娜街（Laguna St.）1450號。房屋損毀但無人員受傷。

Eldridge said in the affidavit that Feng called Daly City police on Friday and “identified himself as the individual who ‘made the fire’ in front of” what Feng called the Chinese Embassy in San Francisco.

埃爾德里奇在書面陳述中說，馮3日打電話給戴利警局，說自己就是在中國駐舊金山總領事館門前‘放火’的那個人。

Daly City police went to Feng’s address and arrested him, the agent said.

於是，戴利市警察到馮嚴豐的住所將他逮捕。

Eldridge wrote that in an interview with federal agents later that day, Feng “stated in substance that he targeted the Chinese consulate because all the voices he had been hearing were in Chinese and the Chinese consulate had to have been involved.”The interviewers were Eldridge, two other FBI agents, and an agent from the US State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service.

埃爾德里奇在那天晚些時候與其他聯邦特工一起對他進行了審問。在審問中，馮“稱他之所以要燒中國領事館是因爲他當時聽到的所有聲音都是用中文說的，必須牽涉到中國領事館”。參加審問的有埃爾德里奇，另外兩位聯邦調查局特工和美國國務院外交安全部門的一名特工。

Feng allegedly told the agents he drove to San Francisco in his minivan, a green 2002 Honda Odyssey, between 8 and 9 pm on Jan. 1, filled three containers with gasoline bought at a station on Geary Boulevard, and parked in front of the consulate.

據馮嚴豐說，2014年1月1日晚上8點多的時候，他開着自己的一輛綠色的2002年產的本田奧德賽（Honda Odyssey）汽車前往舊金山，在蓋瑞大街（Geary Boulevard）的一處加油站買了三桶汽油，然後將車停在了領事館門口。

Eldridge said Feng told the agents he placed the containers near the front entrance of the building, poured gasoline on the front door and front steps, and attempted to light a fire with his passport, but the fire did not ignite.

埃爾德里奇說，馮嚴豐告訴他們，他把這幾桶汽油放在領事館的前門附近，在前門和階梯上澆上汽油，準備用他的護照來點火，但沒點着。

Feng then used a large black lighter to ignite one of the containers and saw a large fire flare up in front of the consulate, according to the affidavit. He then drove back to Daly City, Eldridge wrote.

據書面陳述記載，馮隨後就用一個大的黑色打火機點燃了一個油桶，目睹着領事館門口燃起熊熊大火。然後他驅車返回戴利市。

The affidavit cited surveillance videos that allegedly showed an individual parking a minivan in front of the consulate and placing objects near the front entrance.

書面陳述中還記錄了監控視頻信息，有一個人將一輛麪包車停在領事館前並且把幾個物體放在領事館前門處。

On one video, “the individual bends over the objects and, at approximately 9:32 pm, a large fireball ignites from the individual’s location at the front entrance of the Chinese consulate,” Eldridge wrote.

其中一個監控視頻顯示，“這個人在這些物品旁彎下腰，約9點32分時，在中國領事館前門處，就在這個人的位置燃起熊熊大火。

The two charges filed against Feng each carry a possible sentence of up to five years in prison if he is convicted.

馮被控訴的兩項罪名如果成立，每一項都可能判高達5年的監禁。

Johnson said at a San Francisco news conference on the arrest this morning that there is no indication the fire was motivated by terrorism, politics or civil rights concerns.

在今天早上召開的關於逮捕嫌疑人的記者招待會上，約翰遜說，目前並沒有跡象表明這次縱火與恐怖主義、政治或民權活動有關。

The consulate issued a statement saying, “We have noted the efforts made by the US side to investigate into the arson attack and require that the perpetrator be brought to justice.“We will follow up closely with the US side on the trial. We urge the US side to learn lessons from this incident, take effective measures to ensure the safety, security and dignity of Chinese diplomatic and consulate missions and staff in the US and prevent the recurrence of similar incidents,” the statement said.

領事館發表聲明說：“中方注意到美方爲處置此次縱火事件所作努力，要求美方依法嚴懲肇事者。中方將繼續密切關注案件審理後續進展，並要求美方認真吸取教訓，切實採取有效措施維護中國外交、領事人員和機構的安全和尊嚴，確保類似事件不再發生。”
