台北加强对飞往北京航班的安检

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.

台湾政府称，上周二有一个匿名电话说北京主要机场可能成为恐怖分子策划袭击的目标，随后台湾加强了对飞往北京航班的安检。

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.

台湾国安局局长蔡得胜周一说，该局已于3月4日将相关信息转告大陆方面。但他告诫说，不应将马来西亚航空(Malaysia Airlines, 简称：马航)飞往北京的370航班失联事件与这一匿名电话联系起来。马航370航班在上周六凌晨失去了通讯联络。

'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.'

蔡得胜说，台湾已经就相关信息对大陆发出了警报。他说，台湾相信这起事件与马航失联客机并无较高的相关性。

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.

台湾航警局(Aviation Police Bureau)说，无法证实匿名电话的真实性，但该局已经加强了对飞往北京航班和运往北京行李的安检。航警局称，这是该局在一年多来接到的首个有关炸弹威胁的电话。

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.

航警局周一对《华尔街日报》(The Wall Street Journal)表示，3月4日下午，台湾中华航空股份有限公司(China Airlines Ltd., 简称：中华航空)收到了一位自称是法国反恐组织成员的男子的电话。这位男子在电话中称，其获得的信息表明，一个东突厥斯坦(East Turkestan, 简称：东突)恐怖组织计划对北京首都国际机场发动炸弹袭击，并称他的组织无法联系上北京主管机构。东突是中国新疆分裂势力所希望建立的独立国家名称。

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.

航警局说，打电话的人并未透露自己的身份，也未说明他代表哪个反恐组织，也没有提到具体哪个组织制定了炸弹袭击计划。另外，对于此人为什么要与一家台湾航空公司接触，航警局不愿给出推测性的说法。

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.

中华航空周一证实，该公司确实在3月4日接到了这通电话。该公司表示，已将与这通电话有关的信息和记录转交给政府。该公司未作进一步置评。按机队规模排名，中华航空是台湾最大的航空公司。

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.

台湾《苹果日报》周一报道称，台湾主管机构在3月3日前后得到情报，得知北京首都国际机场将成为恐怖分子袭击的目标。

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.

中国大陆已经在上周加强了安全措施，因为全国人大在召开，而昆明火车站也在3月1日发生了持刀袭击事件。有关部门说，昆明火车站袭击事件是由新疆分裂势力策划实施的。
