5月15日(路透社)——美国司法部周五表示,一名被指控参与针对美国在欧洲利益的多起袭击的伊拉克国民已被逮捕并押往美国,面临六项与恐怖主义相关的指控。
检察官表示,嫌疑人穆罕默德·巴克尔·萨阿德·达乌德·阿尔-萨阿迪是伊朗支持的民兵组织“真主旅”的高级成员,并指控他为外国恐怖组织提供物质支持。

阿尔-萨阿迪被指控协调或支持欧洲和美国境内近20起袭击和未遂袭击,“包括他在美国本土实施谋杀的企图”,美国纽约南区检察官杰伊·克莱顿在一份声明中说道。
美国政府和独立专家表示,“真主旅”按照伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队的指令行动。
此次指控正值美国加强对伊朗支持的民兵组织的审查,这些民兵组织被指控在美国与以色列对伊朗的持续战争期间,在多个地区针对美国人员和盟友发动袭击。
美国官员表示,他在海外被美国警方拘留并押往美国,在那里他出庭接受了治安法官的审理,并被下令在审判前继续羁押。美国广播公司新闻报道称,他在土耳其被拘留后移交美方。

检察官指控阿尔-萨阿迪指导并煽动针对美国和以色列目标的袭击,包括杀害美国人和犹太平民的企图,这是与伊朗支持的激进组织相关的更广泛行动的一部分。
辩护律师安德烈·达拉ack拒绝就指控的实质内容置评,称现在讨论案件细节为时过早。但他警告不要“仓促下定论”,并对阿尔-萨阿迪的拘留条件提出担忧。
“我们目前主要关注的是他的监禁条件,据我们了解他被单独监禁,我们认为这既残忍又没有必要,”达拉ack告诉路透社。
官员们援引的法庭文件描述了与阿尔-萨阿迪及其同伙有关的袭击,包括针对海外美国利益的爆炸、纵火和袭击。官员们还指控他讨论了在美国境内发动潜在袭击的计划,包括纽约、加利福尼亚州和亚利桑那州的可能目标。

May 15 (Reuters) – An Iraqi national accused of involvement in multiple attacks against U.S. interests in Europe has been arrested and brought to the U.S. to face six terrorism-related counts, the U.S. Justice Department said on Friday.
Prosecutors said the suspect, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, was a senior member of the Iran-backed militia Kata’ib Hezbollah and accused him of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

Al-Saadi is accused of coordinating or supporting nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks across Europe and the United States, “including his efforts to kill on U.S. soil,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York in a statement.
The U.S. government and independent experts say Kata’ib Hezbollah operates at the direction of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The charges come amid heightened U.S. scrutiny of Iran-backed militias accused of targeting American personnel and allies across multiple regions amid the ongoing U.S. and Israeli war against Iran.
U.S. officials said he was taken into American custody overseas and transported to the United States, where he appeared before a magistrate judge and was ordered detained pending trial. ABC News reported he was detained in Turkey and handed over to the Americans.

Prosecutors allege Al-Saadi directed and encouraged attacks on U.S. and Israeli targets, including efforts to kill Americans and Jewish civilians, as part of a broader campaign tied to Iranian-backed militant groups.
Defense attorney Andre Dalack declined to address the substance of the charges, saying it was too early to discuss details of the case. But he cautioned against a “rush to judgment” and raised concerns about Al-Saadi’s detainment.
“We’re primarily concerned at the moment with the conditions of his confinement, as we understand he’s being held in solitary confinement, which we think is both cruel and unnecessary,” Dalack told Reuters.
Court documents cited by officials describe attacks linked to Al-Saadi and his associates that included bombings, arson and assaults targeting American interests abroad. Officials also allege he discussed potential attacks inside the United States, including possible targets in New York, California and Arizona.
