华盛顿8月20日电(路透社)——美国司法部周四表示,美国当局已逮捕一名纽约女子,并指控其策划在奥尔巴尼的州议会大厦实施受伊斯兰国启发的袭击。

美国负责国家安全事务的助理司法部长约翰·A·艾森伯格表示,现年35岁、来自奥尔巴尼的杰西卡·鲍伊被控计划在州议会大厦安置爆炸装置,意图杀害公职人员并“尽可能多地摧毁该建筑”,随后逃往叙利亚的“伊斯兰国”控制区。

美国司法部称,鲍伊在拿到她以为是爆炸装置的物品后,于周三被捕。

该部门表示,有人看到她多次前往州议会大厦场地,并拍摄了该建筑的照片。

据美国司法部称,鲍伊在将该建筑列为袭击目标时表示,她希望此次袭击能“影响美国的制度”。

美国司法部称,鲍伊在网上发表过反美言论,包括庆祝2001年9月11日袭击事件——当时基地组织武装分子劫持商用客机,撞向世界贸易中心、五角大楼以及宾夕法尼亚州尚克斯维尔附近的一片田野。

记者未能立即联系到鲍伊的律师置评。

鲍伊被捕后,纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔表示,鉴于针对公职人员的政治暴力和威胁有所增加,该州已采取措施加强州议会大厦及整个政府机构的安保。

她在一份声明中表示:“虽然目前没有直接威胁,但我们将继续与执法伙伴密切合作,保护纽约民众,保障我们社区的安全。”

WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) – U.S. authorities arrested and charged a New York woman with planning to carry out an Islamic State-inspired ​attack on the state’s capitol building in Albany, the ‌Justice Department said on Thursday.

Jessica Bowie, 35, of Albany, was charged with planning to deploy an explosive device at the state capitol with the intention ​of killing public officials and destroying “as much of the building ​as possible” before fleeing to ISIS‑controlled territory in Syria, ⁠according to John A. Eisenberg, assistant attorney general for national security.

Bowie ​was apprehended on Wednesday after she gained possession of what she ​thought was an explosive device, the DOJ said.

The department said she was seen making visits to the state’s Capitol grounds and taking photographs of the ​building.

While describing the building as her target, according to the DOJ, ​Bowie said she wanted the attack to have an “affect on the American system.”

The ‌DOJ ⁠said Bowie has expressed anti-American messages online, including celebrating the September 11, 2001, attacks, in which al Qaeda militants hijacked commercial airliners and crashed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a ​field near Shanksville, ​Pennsylvania.

A lawyer ⁠for Bowie could not be reached for immediate comment.

Following Bowie’s arrest, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said ​the state had taken steps to strengthen security ​at the ⁠capitol and across government amid a rise in political violence and threats against public officials.

“While there is no immediate threat at this time, ⁠we ​will continue working closely with our ​law enforcement partners to protect New Yorkers and keep our communities safe,” she said in ​a statement.
