呢篇文章講嘅係2017年嘅兇案。想搵1605年意圖炸咗西敏宮嗰單案,請睇「火藥陰謀」。

經過

編輯

2017年3月22號下晝大約兩點八個字,一架現代牌彎仔喺西敏橋撞冧咗大概十個人,途中有人由橋面跌落泰晤士河[1]。架車跟住撞向圍欄,然後有個黑衣人由架車道走出嚟,跑入西敏宮範圍,用刀捅冧一個警察。兩個便衣警察趕到,警告黑衣人。佢唔聽,警察就射咗佢四槍隊冧佢[2][3]

國會議員 Tobias Ellwood 咁啱路過,嘗試心肺復甦遇襲警察,但係佢同埋後來到場嘅醫護人員合力都救唔返。Tobias Ellwood 同恐襲有啲淵源,佢阿哥 Jon 死喺2002年峇里島爆炸案[4]

兇徒上身中槍,亦救唔返,當場死亡[5]。跌落河嗰個人後來救返,無死到[6]。傷者送晒去附近五間醫院[7]

死傷者

編輯

總共五個人死咗,包括兇徒。兇徒同埋另外三個死者持英國國籍。另有大約50人受傷[8]

死者當中有兩個人係被架車撞死,包括英籍教育工作者 Aysha Frade[9]同埋美籍遊客 Kurt Cochran[10]。第三個死者係便裝警 Keith Palmer,隸屬帝都警察廳嘅西敏宮分隊,遇襲時身上無帶武器[11][12]。最後一個遇害者係英籍抹窗技工 Leslie Rhodes,遇襲後死喺醫院[13][8]

兇徒叫 Khalid Masood,襲擊當日52歲。佢喺根德郡出世、東修適士郡長大,原名 Adrian Russell Elms (跟生父姓)或者 Adrian Russell Ajao (跟後父姓)。佢皈信伊斯蘭教之後改名 Khalid Masood,曾經去過沙地阿拉伯教書同埋朝聖[14]。佢曾經犯事,英國軍情五處有懷疑過佢想搞恐襲,但查唔出嘢[15]。帝都警察廳發言人話,襲擊者對武裝聖戰有興趣,襲擊手法同伊斯蘭國相關嘅恐襲相似,但無證據顯示佢同伊斯蘭國或者阿蓋達有直接聯繫[16]

應變

編輯

襲擊發生之後,西敏站臨時封閉,案發現場附近圍封方便警察做嘢[17]。國會大樓唔俾出入,保安指示入面嘅議員、職工、同埋人客留喺寫字樓或者議事廳,直至警方清完場。有啲人後來疏散咗去西敏寺[18]

英國國會威爾斯議會、同埋蘇格蘭議會喺襲擊發生之後中止當日議程,之後嗰日恢復運作[19][20]

英國恐襲警報級別喺襲擊之前已經係「嚴重」,代表襲擊發生嘅機會好高。襲擊後,當局決定唔再提升警報級別[21]

迴響

編輯

伊斯蘭國聲稱襲擊關佢哋事,話係報復英軍空襲伊斯蘭國據點[22]。專家分析,伊斯蘭國喉舌聲稱自己同一單恐怖襲擊有關之前,通常都會查下襲擊者同佢哋嘅人馬係咪真有聯繫,好少噏得就噏。不過,呢次公告無乜講過襲擊者嘅背景,所以相信伊斯蘭國相關人士嘅參與唔多[23]

英國首相文翠珊開記者會,話:「國會聽日會照常開會,倫敦人聽日會照常生活。我哋唔會輸俾恐怖主義。」[24]
