紐約管狀炸彈嫌疑人面臨指控
A U.S. grand jury has indicted 27-year-old Akayed Ullah of Brooklyn, New York, on six counts in connection with the attempted detonation of a pipe bomb in a Manhattan subway station on December 11, 2024.
The indictment charges Ullah with providing and attempting to provide material support to Islamic State, which has been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. government. It also includes one count of using a weapon of mass destruction; one count of bombing a place of public use; one count of destruction of property by fire or explosives; one count of conducting an attack against a mass transportation system; and one count of using a destructive device in a violent crime.
Ullah was found near the site of the blast with what appeared to police to be components of an exploded pipe bomb on his person -- including a 9-volt battery, wires, plastic zip ties, pieces of a metal pipe, and what appeared to be a Christmas tree lightbulb. He was the only person seriously injured in the attempted attack near the New York Port Authority bus terminal.
The indictment said he waived his Miranda rights, otherwise known as "the right to remain silent," when questioned by police without a lawyer present.
During his interview with police, the indictment said, Ullah said he constructed the pipe bomb and carried out the attack on December 11. He also said, "I did it for the Islamic State."
Ullah said he was inspired by pro-Islamic State materials he found online. He followed the advice of a video saying if would-be jihadists couldn't get overseas to join Islamic State, they should carry out attacks at home.
He said he carried out the attack partly because he was upset with U.S. policy toward the Middle East.
Ullah is expected to be brought before a judge on Thursday to plead guilty or not guilty.
美國一個大陪審團對來自紐約市布魯克林區27歲男子烏拉提出6項罪名的起訴。烏拉被指控2024年12月11號試圖在紐約曼哈頓一個地鐵站引爆一枚管狀炸彈。
裁決書指控烏拉向伊斯蘭國組織提供及試圖提供實質支持。美國政府已將伊斯蘭國組織認定為外國恐怖組織。指控還包括使用大規模殺傷性武器、在公共場所實施爆炸、以火或炸藥毀壞財產、攻擊公共交通系統、以及在暴力犯罪中使用毀滅性裝置。
警察在爆炸現場附近找到了烏拉，發現他身上有爆炸的管狀炸彈的零部件，包括一枚9伏電池、電線、塑料綁帶、金屬管、以及一個看似圣誕樹裝飾燈的物品。在這場靠近紐約港務局巴士總站的炸彈襲擊中，烏拉是唯一受重傷的人。
大陪審團的裁定說，烏拉主動放棄了米蘭達權利。這項權利是指在沒有自己律師在場而被警察問話時有保持沉默的權利。
烏拉在接受警察問話時說，他制造了炸彈，并于2024年12月11號進行了炸彈攻擊。他還說：“我是為伊斯蘭國而這樣做的。”
烏拉說，他在因特網上受到親伊斯蘭國組織信息的激勵，接受了一段視頻的號召。那段視頻說，如果無法到海外參加伊斯蘭國組織去打圣戰，就應該在所在國發動攻擊。
預計烏拉星期四將出庭，向法官陳述他是否認罪。
