一名已逃往中国的男子被指控在佛罗里达州一处驻有美国中央司令部的军事基地访客中心外放置简易爆炸装置。该司令部正领导美国与以色列联合对抗伊朗的战争行动。
在周四的新闻发布会上，美国佛罗里达州中区联邦检察官格雷戈里·W·基奥详细说明了调查人员认为男子阿伦·郑（Alen Zheng）如何在基地放置简易爆炸装置（IED），以及他的妹妹安·玛丽·郑（Ann Mary Zheng）如何帮助他掩盖罪行并逃往中国。
基奥表示，调查人员没有证据表明这起犯罪与任何外国有关联，目前仍在调查郑的可能动机。
据检察官称，郑在3月10日放置爆炸装置几分钟后，以匿名来电者身份拨打了911，称麦克迪尔空军基地有炸弹，但未提供装置位置。
基奥说，基地随后被搜查，但直到6天后的3月16日才在基地访客中心附近一处隐蔽区域发现简易爆炸装置。联邦执法部门对爆炸物进行了分析，确认其具有杀伤力，但官员们在新闻发布会上未解释为何炸弹未被引爆。
基奥称，当他们定位到装置时，郑和他的妹妹已经逃往中国。调查人员追踪到这通911来电来自郑在百思买购买的一部手机，并且后来在他家中发现了爆炸物材料，在他用来运输装置的汽车上也检测到了简易爆炸装置残留物。
郑被指控三项罪名，包括制造爆炸装置和企图破坏政府财产。郑的妹妹于3月17日返回美国，随后被逮捕，并被指控协助郑逃亡以及出售当局认定他使用过的汽车。
“我们不清楚她为何回来，”基奥说道。法庭记录显示，她于周四对指控不认罪。
基奥称，这对兄妹是美国公民，但他不确定他们是否拥有双重国籍。他表示，当官员询问安·玛丽·郑和她的母亲（未具名）时，两人承认知道郑放置了爆炸装置。
基奥称，郑的母亲因签证逾期已被拘留并面临驱逐。

A man who has since fled to China was charged with placing an improvised explosive device outside the visitor’s center at a Florida military base housing US Central Command, which is leading the joint US-Israeli war effort against Iran.
During a press conference Thursday, US Attorney for the Middle District of Florida, Gregory W. Kehoe, detailed how investigators believe the man, Alen Zheng, placed the IED at the base and how his sister — Ann Mary Zheng — helped him cover up his crime and flee to China.
Kehoe said investigators do not have evidence that a foreign country is connected to the crime and are still investigating Zheng’s possible motivations.
According to prosecutors, Zheng — as an unnamed caller — made a 911 call minutes after placing the explosive device on March 10, saying there was a bomb at the MacDill Air Force base while not providing a location for the device.
The base was searched but no device was located until March 16, six days later, Kehoe said, when the IED was found in a secluded area near the base’s visitor’s center. Federal law enforcement analyzed the explosive and determined it was viable, officials said during the press conference but did not explain why the bomb never detonated.
By the time they had located the device, Zheng and his sister had fled to China, Kehoe said. Investigators traced the 911 call back to a phone Zheng had purchased at Best Buy and later found explosive material in his home as well as residue from the IED in the car he used to transport the device, Kehoe said.
Zheng has been charged with three counts including making an explosive device and attempt to damage government property. Zheng’s sister traveled back to the US on March 17 and was later arrested and charged with allegedly helping Zheng flee and sell the car authorities say he used.
“Why she came back I don’t know,” Kehoe said. She pleaded not guilty to the charges on Thursday, according to court records.
The siblings are US citizens, Kehoe said, adding that he didn’t know if they held any dual citizenship. Kehoe said that when officials interviewed Ann Mary Zheng and her mother — who they did not name — the two admitted knowing that Zheng had planted the device.
Zheng’s mother is “in custody for deportation,” Kehoe said, because she overstayed her visa.
