摘要
On Saturday, a vehicle drove into a crowd near Berlin Pride celebrations in what is being regarded as an attack on the LGBTQ+ community. The main suspect has since been confronted and shot dead.
周六晚,一辆汽车在柏林骄傲游行庆祝活动附近冲入人群,事件被视为针对LGBTQ+群体的袭击,造成一人死亡、多人受伤。主要嫌疑人其后在警方行动中被击毙。
On Saturday night, around 10 pm, a white van drove into a crowd some 100 meters (328 feet) away from a Christopher Street Day celebration near Brandenburg Gate in the heart of Berlin. Police spokesperson Florian Nath said the van drove through the park parallel to a main road and struck a number of people before crashing into a tree. Afterward, the driver left the van and fled in an unknown direction, Nath said.
周六晚约10时,一辆白色厢式货车在柏林市中心勃兰登堡门附近、距“克里斯托弗街日”(Christopher Street Day)庆祝活动约100米(328英尺)处冲入人群。警方发言人弗洛里安·纳特表示,该车沿与主干道平行的公园道路行驶,撞倒多人后撞上一棵树。纳特称,司机随后弃车逃逸,去向不明。
Police later confirmed the vehicle was privately owned, not a rental. It was removed from the crime scene on Sunday.
警方其后证实,该车辆为私人所有,并非租赁车辆。车辆已于周日从案发现场移走。
Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CDU) later added that a suspect is also believed to have attacked people with a blade-like weapon, possibly a machete, before fleeing.
德国联邦内政部长亚历山大·多布林特(基民盟)随后补充称,一名嫌疑人据信还曾用一种类似刀具的武器——可能是一把砍刀——袭击民众,然后逃离现场。
The area around the crime scene was widely blocked off Saturday night after organizers called off the rest of the event and evacuated festivalgoers. Police searched the Tiergarten area with infrared cameras overnight, spokesperson Nath said.
周六晚,在主办方取消余下活动并疏散参加者后,案发现场周边区域被大范围封锁。发言人纳特表示,警方连夜使用红外摄像设备搜索了蒂尔加滕公园一带。
Who was injured, who was killed?
何人受伤,何人遇难?
One woman died following the attack, and 29 people were injured — several of them severely.
袭击发生后,一名女性死亡,29人受伤,其中数人伤势严重。
"This is an attack on our society," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on social media in response to the attack, which he called "heinous." The people struck were near a closing party of the Christopher Street Day parade, which celebrates LGBTQ+ rights.
“这是对我们社会的袭击,”德国总理弗里德里希·默茨在社交媒体上回应称,并称此次袭击“令人发指”。遇袭人群当时位于“克里斯托弗街日”游行闭幕派对附近,该游行旨在庆祝LGBTQ+群体的权利。
By Sunday afternoon, police confirmed that none of those injured were in life-threatening condition anymore.
截至周日下午,警方证实所有伤者均已脱离生命危险。
Eyewitness accounts initially suggested that multiple attackers were involved, leading the police to search for more than one perpetrator at first.
目击者的陈述最初显示可能涉及多名袭击者,警方因此一度搜寻不止一名作案者。
Interior Minister Dobrindt said Sunday the chief suspect was Abdul B., 21, who had been known to authorities for a "high number" of previous attacks, and for being radicalized. In accordance with the German press code, Deutsche Welle refrains from publishing the full name of criminal suspects.
内政部长多布林特周日表示,主要嫌疑人为21岁的阿卜杜勒·B.,此人因“大量”前科袭击行为以及被极端化而为当局所掌握。根据德国新闻业行业准则,德国之声不公布犯罪嫌疑人的全名。
Prosecutors say Abdul B. shared propaganda for the so-called Islamic State (or IS) militant group online and had recently unsuccessfully attempted to join the group in Syria.
检方称,阿卜杜勒·B.曾在网上传播所谓“伊斯兰国”(IS)武装组织的宣传材料,并于近期试图前往叙利亚加入该组织,但未成功。
He later distanced himself from IS. Abdul B. was born in Germany and held German citizenship. His mother had Lebanese origins.
他后来与“伊斯兰国”划清了界限。阿卜杜勒·B.出生于德国,拥有德国国籍,其母亲具有黎巴嫩血统。
On Sunday evening, Berlin's Senate Department for Interior Affairs told media the fugitive suspect Abdul B. was shot dead in a police operation in a garden allotment in Spandau, Berlin's westernmost borough. The interior minister has since said there was no longer any danger to the public.
周日晚间,柏林州内政部门向媒体表示,在逃嫌疑人阿卜杜勒·B.在柏林最西端行政区施潘道的一处小型园圃内被警方在行动中击毙。内政部长此后表示,公众已不再面临危险。
The precise motive has not been established, but based on the main suspect's history, authorities are currently treating this as an act of terror.
确切动机尚未查明,但基于主要嫌疑人的既往经历,当局目前将此案作为恐怖袭击处理。
"Everything we see here indicates that this was an Islamist terror attack," Dobrindt said on Sunday.
“我们在这里看到的一切都表明,这是一起伊斯兰主义恐怖袭击,”多布林特周日表示。
As a result, the Federal Public Prosecutor General will now take up an investigation, as Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig confirmed.
因此,正如司法部长斯特凡妮·胡比希所证实,联邦总检察长将接手此案的调查。
This office usually takes over investigations in cases of serious crimes that affect Germany's internal or external security, such as incidents of terrorism, treason or espionage.
该机构通常在涉及危害德国内部或外部安全的严重犯罪案件中接管调查,例如恐怖主义、叛国或间谍活动等案件。
Hundreds of mourners gathered at Brandenburg Gate on Sunday, despite the still ongoing manhunt at the time, to grieve the victims of the attack and express the anger and shock over what is seen as an attack on the LBGTQ+ community.
周日,尽管当时追捕行动仍在进行,数百名悼念者仍聚集在勃兰登堡门前,哀悼袭击遇难者,并对这起被视为针对LGBTQ+群体的袭击表达愤怒与震惊。
"Yesterday was an attack on all of us," one speaker said, "on all our identities, our existence, our community, and our democracy. But we will not let it defeat us."
“昨天的袭击针对的是我们所有人,”一位发言者说,“针对我们所有人的身份、我们的存在、我们的社群和我们的民主。但我们不会被它击倒。”
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said, "this is an attack on our open society, our way of life and our ability to live together."
德国总统弗兰克-瓦尔特·施泰因迈尔表示:“这是对我们开放社会、我们生活方式以及我们共同生活能力的袭击。”
Several key elections are coming up in a number of German states this year, and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is high in the polls there. Saturday's deadly attack is likely to intensify the debate around migration and security - two topics the AfD leads with nationalist and anti-immigrant positions.
德国多个联邦州今年将举行数场关键选举,极右翼政党德国选择党(AfD)在当地民调中支持率居高。周六的致命袭击很可能加剧围绕移民与安全问题的争论,而德国选择党正以民族主义和反移民立场主导这两个议题。
The car ramming on Saturday is reminiscent of similar deadly attacks in recent years, raising concerns over police preparedness for large events, and security responses to known criminals.
周六的汽车冲撞事件令人联想到近年来发生的多起类似致命袭击,引发外界对大型活动警备工作以及针对已知罪犯的安全应对措施的担忧。
