臺北加強對飛往北京航班的安檢

Taiwan's government said it has increased security on its flights to Beijing after receiving an anonyMous call last Tuesday about an alleged terrorist plot targeting Beijing's main airport.

臺灣政府稱，上週二有一個匿名電話說北京主要機場可能成爲恐怖分子策劃襲擊的目標，隨後臺灣加強了對飛往北京航班的安檢。

Tsai Der-sheng, director-general of Taiwan's National Security Bureau, said Monday that the bureau had relayed the information to China on March 4, but cautioned against linking the incident with missing Beijing-bound Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared early Saturday morning.

臺灣國安局局長蔡得勝週一說，該局已於3月4日將相關信息轉告大陸方面。但他告誡說，不應將馬來西亞航空(Malaysia Airlines, 簡稱：馬航)飛往北京的370航班失聯事件與這一匿名電話聯繫起來。馬航370航班在上週六凌晨失去了通訊聯絡。

'Taiwan has already alerted China regarding the information,' Mr. Tsai said. 'We believe this incident doesn't have a high correlation with the missing Malaysian aircraft.'

蔡得勝說，臺灣已經就相關信息對大陸發出了警報。他說，臺灣相信這起事件與馬航失聯客機並無較高的相關性。

Taiwan's Aviation Police Bureau added it could not confirm the veracity of the anonymous call, but it had increased security for luggage and flights leaving for Beijing. This was the first bomb threat call the bureau has received in more than a year, it said.

臺灣航警局(Aviation Police Bureau)說，無法證實匿名電話的真實性，但該局已經加強了對飛往北京航班和運往北京行李的安檢。航警局稱，這是該局在一年多來接到的首個有關炸彈威脅的電話。

Taiwan's China Airlines Ltd. had received a phone call in the afternoon of March 4 from a person who said he was a member of a French counterterrorism group, Taiwan's Aviation Police Bureau told The Wall Street Journal Monday. The caller said his group wasn't able to get in touch with authorities in Beijing, and that it had received information that an East Turkestan terrorist group planned to bomb the Beijing Capital International Airport. East Turkestan is the name for the proposed independent state sought by separatists in China's northwest Xinjiang province.

航警局週一對《華爾街日報》(The Wall Street Journal)表示，3月4日下午，臺灣中華航空股份有限公司(China Airlines Ltd., 簡稱：中華航空)收到了一位自稱是法國反恐組織成員的男子的電話。這位男子在電話中稱，其獲得的信息表明，一個東突厥斯坦(East Turkestan, 簡稱：東突)恐怖組織計劃對北京首都國際機場發動炸彈襲擊，並稱他的組織無法聯繫上北京主管機構。東突是中國新疆分裂勢力所希望建立的獨立國家名稱。

The bureau said the caller didn't identify himself or say which counterterrorism group he represented, or identify the organization with the bombing plans. The bureau also declined to speculate on why the caller would contact a Taiwanese airline.

航警局說，打電話的人並未透露自己的身份，也未說明他代表哪個反恐組織，也沒有提到具體哪個組織制定了炸彈襲擊計劃。另外，對於此人爲什麼要與一家臺灣航空公司接觸，航警局不願給出推測性的說法。

China Airlines on Monday confirmed it received the call on March 4 and said it had passed on the recording and information relevant to the call to Taiwan's government. The airline operator, Taiwan's biggest in terms of fleet size, didn't elaborate further.

中華航空週一證實，該公司確實在3月4日接到了這通電話。該公司表示，已將與這通電話有關的信息和記錄轉交給政府。該公司未作進一步置評。按機隊規模排名，中華航空是臺灣最大的航空公司。

Taiwan's Apple Daily reported Monday that the island's authorities received intelligence around March 3 that China's Beijing International Airport would be a target of a terrorist attack.

臺灣《蘋果日報》週一報道稱，臺灣主管機構在3月3日前後得到情報，得知北京首都國際機場將成爲恐怖分子襲擊的目標。

Security was already heightened in China last week for the National People's Congress and following a stabbing attack on March 1 at the Kunming Railway Station that authorities said was planned by Xinjiang separatists.

中國大陸已經在上週加強了安全措施，因爲全國人大在召開，而昆明火車站也在3月1日發生了持刀襲擊事件。有關部門說，昆明火車站襲擊事件是由新疆分裂勢力策劃實施的。
