加拿大警方表示他们成功挫败了一起基地组织支持的恐怖主义事件。两名疑犯企图使一列从多伦多到纽约的客车脱轨,目前嫌疑人已被抓获。据悉,Chiheb Esseghaier 和Raed Jaser并非加拿大公民,两人现面临涉嫌恐怖主义袭击的指控。加拿大警方表示他们已掌握证据表明伊朗的基地分子为本次袭击出谋划策,但伊朗是否与此事件有关尚不清楚。总警司Jennifer Strachan表示在逮捕嫌犯之前警方作出了仔细的调查。
"We are alleging that these two individuals took steps and conducted activities to initiate a terrorist attack. They watched trains and railways in the Greater Toronto area. These arrests are the conclusion of a very complex and lengthy investigation which involved multi-jurisdictional and multi-agency cooperation.”
“我们认为嫌疑人企图发起恐怖袭击。他们曾在大多伦多地区观察列车和铁路。逮捕之前,我们与多个机构合作,并跨越几个管辖区进行了仔细深度的调查。”
The sole surviving suspect in last week’s Boston Marathon bombing in the United States has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction against people and property resulting in death. Nineteen-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged as he lay in his hospital bed. If convicted, he could face the death penalty or life imprisonment. The White House has said he’ll be tried in the US criminal justice system and won’t be treated as an enemy combatant. The spokesman Jay Carney explained why.
