- 内容摘要
- 国土安全部评估认为，美以对伊朗战争可能是作案动机之一
- FBI正在调查与嫌疑人相关的反特朗普社交媒体帖子
- 调查人员提及多项“社会与政治不满”
华盛顿5月6日路透电 — 根据一份发送至全美各州和地方执法部门及其他联邦机构的情报报告，美国国土安全部认定，上月在白宫记者 gala 晚宴上企图暗杀特朗普总统及其政府高级官员的嫌疑人，其作案动机可能与美以和伊朗的战争有关。
这份由国土安全部情报与分析办公室于4月27日发布的初步评估报告指出，嫌疑人科尔·艾伦“存在多项社会与政治不满”。报告得出结论称，伊朗冲突“可能促成了他发动袭击的决定”，并援引艾伦批评美国在这场战争中行动的社交媒体帖子作为依据。

该评估为美国政府调查4月25日未遂的白宫记者晚宴袭击案动机提供了新线索。尽管结论尚属初步，但这是迄今为止最明确的证据，表明这场已造成中东数千人死亡、扰乱全球经济的伊朗冲突可能是触发袭击的因素。

周二，美国司法部新增一项袭击联邦官员罪名，指控艾伦在安全检查站向美国特勤局特工开枪，外加企图暗杀、在暴力犯罪中使用枪支、跨州非法运输枪支和弹药等罪名。他尚未作出抗辩。
FBI调查社交媒体活动
美国官员迄今很少提及艾伦的涉嫌作案动机，仅提到艾伦在袭击当晚发给亲属的一封邮件。官员称这封邮件是一份宣言，其中表达了对政府的愤怒，并提及他想要袭击“叛徒”的演讲者，但未点名特朗普。
在法庭文件中，检察官称艾伦“在政治上反对特朗普”，并“想要‘反击’他认为在道德上令人反感的政府政策和决定”。
一位不愿透露姓名的资深执法官员告诉路透社，FBI一直在详细审查艾伦的社交媒体活动和数字足迹，以寻找袭击动机。
“这正被密切调查。”该官员对路透社说。
调查内容包括审查与艾伦有关的Bluesky社交媒体账号，该账号在袭击前几周发布并转发了一系列反特朗普言论。这些帖子包括对美国在伊朗行动的批评，也抨击了特朗普政府的移民执法政策、埃隆·马斯克以及俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争。
该账号曾转发一篇帖子，呼吁弹劾特朗普，原因是特朗普4月7日威胁要摧毁伊朗文明，而就在几小时后特朗普同意停火。该账号还转发了对计划出席该记者晚宴的记者的批评。
FBI还审查了2024年的一则帖子，其中一个与艾伦有关的账号在引用圣经经文的同时，似乎在回应特朗普女儿蒂芙尼的一条消息时称特朗普为“魔鬼”。
该官员表示，将调查重点放在艾伦的网络活动上，部分原因是为了避免出现关于嫌疑人作案动机和网络活动的阴谋论，并补充称，2024年特朗普在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒的竞选集会上向特朗普开枪的枪手的网络活动猜测，曾引发广泛传播的阴谋论。

- Summary
- DHS assessment found Iran war may have contributed to motive
- FBI examining anti-Trump posts linked to suspect
- Investigators cite multiple ‘social and political grievances’
WASHINGTON, May 6 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran as a potential motive for the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration at a White House reporters’ gala last month, according to an intelligence report sent to state and local law enforcement nationwide and other federal agencies.
The report, a preliminary assessment by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis dated April 27, assessed that the suspect Cole Allen had “multiple social and political grievances.” It concluded that the Iran conflict “may have contributed to his decision to conduct the attack,” citing social media posts from Allen that criticized U.S. actions in the war.

The assessment sheds new light on the U.S. government’s search for a motive in the foiled attack on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25. Its conclusions, while preliminary, offer the most definitive evidence to date that the Iran conflict, which has killed thousands in the Middle East and rattled the global economy, could have been a trigger.
The report, marked as a “Critical Incident Note,” was obtained through open records requests by the transparency nonprofit Property of the People and shared with Reuters.
Spokespeople for DHS and the U.S. Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The FBI declined to comment.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Justice Department added a charge of assault on a federal officer, accusing Allen of firing at a U.S. Secret Service agent at a security checkpoint, in addition to attempted assassination, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, and illegal transportation of a firearm and ammunition across state lines. He has not yet entered a plea.
FBI EXAMINES SOCIAL MEDIA
U.S. officials have so far said little about Allen’s alleged motivation, pointing only to an email Allen sent to relatives on the night of the attack. The message, which officials have called a manifesto, expressed anger at the administration and referred to his desire to target the “traitor” giving a speech, without mentioning Trump by name.
In court documents, prosecutors have alleged that Allen “disagreed” with Trump politically and “wanted to ‘fight back’ against government policies and decisions that he found morally objectionable.”
The FBI has been carrying out a detailed examination of Allen’s social media activity and digital footprint in searching for a motive for the attack, a senior law enforcement official told Reuters, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
“It’s being closely looked at,” the official told Reuters.
The examination includes a review of posts on a Bluesky social media account linked to Allen that posted and shared a range of anti-Trump messages in the weeks leading up to the attack. The posts include criticism of the U.S. actions in Iran but also broadsides against the Trump administration on immigration enforcement, Elon Musk, and Russia’s war on Ukraine.
The account shared a post calling for Trump to be impeached over his April 7 threat to destroy Iranian civilization, which came hours before Trump agreed to a ceasefire. It also shared criticism of reporters who planned to attend the press dinner.
The FBI has also reviewed a 2024 post in which an account connected to Allen, while quoting a Bible verse, appears to call Trump “the devil” in response to a message from Trump’s daughter Tiffany.
The focus on Allen’s online activity is in part to stave off conspiracy theories about the motive and online activity of the suspected shooter, the official said, adding that speculation about the online activity of the man who fired at Trump during a 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, had sparked widely spread conspiracy theories.
