乌克兰挫败与欧洲杯相关恐怖阴谋

Ukraine claimed on Monday to have thwarted a terrorist plot tied to the upcoming Euro 2016 football championship in France by last month arresting a French national seeking heavy weapons and explosives in the country’s war-torn eastern regions.

乌克兰周一声称挫败了一桩与即将举行的2016年“欧洲杯”有关的恐怖主义阴谋，上月，乌克兰在该国战火纷飞的东部地区逮捕了一名寻找重型武器和爆炸物的法国籍人士。

The arrest occurred in late May, according to authorities, and the suspect appears to have harboured far-right views.

据乌克兰当局称，此次逮捕发生在5月末，嫌疑人似乎持极右翼观点。

“We were able to prevent a series of terrorist acts,” Vasyl Hrytsak, chief of Ukraine’s SBU state security service said at a press conference in Kiev on Monday.

乌克兰国家安全局(SBU)局长瓦西里•格里察克(Vasyl Hrytsak)周一在基辅一个新闻发布会上表示：“我们阻止了一系列恐怖主义行动。”

“The targets of explosions were to include: a Muslim Mosque, a Jewish synagogue, an institution collecting taxes from French citizens, autobahn surveillance points and many other spots. All together, 15 terrorists attacks were planned,” he added.

他补充称：“爆炸袭击目标包括一座穆斯林清真寺、一座犹太教堂、一个从法国公民那里收缴税款的机构、高速公路监控点以及其他很多地点。总共计划发动15次恐怖袭击。”

But details of the case remained murky on Monday, with French investigators seeking to verify the claims of their Ukrainian counterparts. A spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor said no investigation into alleged terrorism had been opened yet. The man remained in Ukrainian custody.

然而有关此案的具体案情周一尚不清楚，法国调查人员正试图核实乌克兰方面的言论。巴黎检方发言人表示，针对据称的恐怖活动尚未立案调查。嫌疑人仍被乌克兰拘留。
