据伦敦大都会警察局称,周五在伦敦有四名男子因涉嫌为伊朗从事间谍活动而被捕。
大都会警察局表示,反恐警察于周五凌晨在伦敦北部郊区巴尼特和沃特福德的几处地址逮捕了这些男子。
警方在一份声明中称,调查的核心是”对伦敦与犹太社区相关的地点和个人的疑似监视”。
“今天的逮捕是长期调查的一部分,也是我们持续开展的打击可疑恶意活动工作的一部分,”大都会警察局反恐负责人海伦·弗拉纳根指挥官表示。
“我们理解公众可能会感到担忧,特别是犹太社区,一如既往,我希望他们保持警惕,如果看到或听到任何令他们担忧的事情,请联系我们。”
警方声明称,涉案男子年龄分别为55岁、52岁、40岁和22岁。另有6人因涉嫌协助上述嫌疑人而被捕,还有一人因袭击警察被捕。
英国内政大臣沙布娜·马哈茂德在消息曝光后在社交媒体帖子中表示:”犹太社区和广大公众对今天的逮捕行动表示关切是可以理解的。我们将继续密切监控局势,并与受影响的各方接触。”
“我可以向你们保证,我们的警察和安全部门处于世界领先水平,会毫不犹豫地采取行动应对对英国的任何威胁。他们将继续使用所有可用的工具和权力来保障这个国家的安全,”马哈茂德补充道。
美国国土安全部反恐与威胁防护助理部长前官员山姆·维诺格拉德本周告诉CBS新闻,伊朗对美国本土构成”多维度威胁”,拥有”可动用的众多人员来实施破坏活动”,包括代理人——区域性、志同道合的恐怖组织,以及国家特工。
伊朗已建立了她所谓的”美国境内代理网络——他们实际雇佣并支付金钱来实施谋杀和暗杀等行为的普通罪犯”。

4 men suspected of spying for Iran arrested in London

Four men were arrested in London on Friday on suspicion of spying for Iran, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Counterterrorism police with the force apprehended the men in the early hours of Friday morning at addresses in Barnet and Watford, on London’s northern outskirts, the Metropolitan Police, or Met, said.
The investigation centered on “suspected surveillance of locations and individuals linked to the Jewish community” in London, according to a statement from the police.
“Today’s arrests are part of a long-running investigation and part of our ongoing work to disrupt malign activity where we suspect it.,” said Commander Helen Flanagan, the Met’s counter-terror chief.
“We understand the public may be concerned, in particular the Jewish community, and as always, I would ask them to remain vigilant and if they see or hear anything that concerns them, then to contact us.”
The men were 55, 52, 40 and 22, according to the police statement. Six others were arrested on suspicion of assisting the alleged offenders, and another was arrested for assaulting a police officer.
“The Jewish community and the wider public will understandably be concerned by today’s arrests,” British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said in a social media post after the news broke. “We continue to monitor the situation closely and engage with those affected.”
“I can reassure you that our police and security services are world leading and won’t hesitate to take action to counter any threat to the UK. They will continue to use the full range of tools and powers available to them to keep this country safe,” Mahmood added.
Sam Vinograd, a former DHS assistant secretary for counterterrorism and threat protection, told CBS News this week that Iran represents a “multi-dimensional threat” to the U.S. homeland, with a “deep bench of players they tap into to inflict damage,” including proxies — regional, like-minded terrorist organizations — along with state agents.
Iran has developed what she called “surrogate networks here in the United States — regular criminals that they actually hire and pay money to do things like murders and assassinations.”
