美国有线新闻 CNN 美国多个犹太社区遭遇炸弹威胁疑犯被捕

 

For months, bomb threats had been made at Jewish organizations and community centers throughout the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. And for months, international investigators¹ have been trying to figure out who`s been making them. Yesterday, they arrested a suspect.

几个月以来，美国、澳大利亚和新西兰的犹太人组织和社区中心一直在面临炸弹威胁。国际调查人员在努力搜寻制造这些威胁事件的人员。昨天，他们逮捕了一名嫌疑犯。

Police say he`s a 19-year-old Jewish man who holds citizenship<sup>2</sup> in both Israel and the U.S. He was arrested in Southern Israel. International police say he used camouflaging<sup>3</sup> technology to cover his tracks. And while some leaders of Jewish institutions are calling the arrest a relief, others are saying they`re bothered by the fact that the person suspected of making threats against Jewish centers is himself reportedly Jewish.

警方表示，嫌疑人是一名持有以色列和美国公民身份的19岁犹太男子。这名男子在以色列南部被逮捕。国际警察表示，这名男子一直在使用伪装技术掩盖自己的踪迹。一些犹太机构的领导人表示，嫌疑人员被捕，让他们松了一口气，而其他人员表示，嫌疑犯的犹太人身份让他们感到困扰。

Israel officials are trying to figure out his motive⁴. The suspect`s lawyer says the 19-year-old has a history of behavioral issues and that he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor⁵ when he was 14.

以色列官员正在试图找到其行为动机。疑犯的律师表示，这名19岁的男子有行为问题史，并在14岁时检测出患有脑瘤，该脑瘤不可以通过手术切除。

In the U.S. alone, there had been more than a hundred bomb threats this year against Jewish schools and centers in 33 states. Police believed most of the threats were made by one person and that copycats made some others. None of the threats was carried out. There were no actual attacks. But they did cause evacuations at some of the targets and anxiety among many Jewish people.

今年，仅在美国，33个州，犹太学校和中心就有100多起炸弹威胁事件。警方认为，这些威胁是由一人所为，而一些效仿者也制造了其他的威胁事件。所有的爆炸均未实施。但是，这些威胁事件，导致多个目标地进行疏散，引发了犹太人恐慌。
