据路透社报道，两名合法居住在英国的拉脱维亚国民于周四因涉嫌闯入莫尔斯沃思皇家空军基地外围围栏，依据英国《2023年国家安全法》第4条被捕。该敏感英国军事基地承载着美国和北约的关键情报行动。
此次逮捕事件引发了针对这座战略设施安保漏洞的重大反恐调查，该基地是支持欧洲和非洲各地美国军事指挥官的核心情报枢纽。
据报道，该基地目前正在进行一项总额5.565亿美元的扩建工程，核心是联合情报分析综合体（JIAC），该设施旨在整合20个情报机构，并容纳超过1000名工作人员。

这两名年龄分别为32岁和36岁的嫌疑人于周四凌晨2点左右在基地内被发现，此前安保人员进行了大范围搜查。
负责巡逻的国防部警察于周三晚上10点左右在基地外围附近发现一辆弃置车辆后首次发出警报。

炸弹处置专家对车辆进行了排查，随后武装人员发现一处围栏被破坏，并在基地内找到了这两名男子。
两人最初因涉嫌擅闯和故意毁坏财物被拘留，随后又依据《国家安全法》再次被捕，罪名是涉嫌为损害英国利益的目的进入禁区。目前两人仍被羁押，反恐侦探正在彼得伯勒附近两处住宅执行搜查令。
莫尔斯沃思皇家空军基地由美国空军第423空军基地大队管理，是一个不承担飞行任务的设施，专门用于联合情报和指挥行动。
该基地驻扎有美国欧洲司令部、美国非洲司令部以及北约情报融合中心的情报部门。
第二次世界大战期间，该机场曾被美国陆军航空队第15轰炸机中队使用。1973年，该机场正式停用，之后转型为如今的情报中心。
联合情报分析综合体的建设工程于2024年4月12日破土动工，同年春季启动现场施工，预计2028年夏季完工。

美国国防部2024年发布的一份公告将该基地开发项目描述为国防部整体欧洲基础设施整合计划的一部分。
“该项目将把20个设施和超过1000名国防情报局人员整合到一处场地。除其他职能外，它将接待北约情报融合中心、战场信息收集与利用系统、美国非洲司令部、美国欧洲司令部以及美国空军相关人员，实现跨部门、多任务协作。”
时任美国国防情报局副局长苏珊·怀特当时表示，该设施将助力“美国及其盟友‘超越战略竞争对手，携手应对各地出现的威胁’的共同使命”。
美国国防部采用两阶段采购策略设计该项目，允许利益相关机构提供反馈并优化进度安排。
事件发生后，美国欧洲司令部对英国的快速响应表示赞赏。

“在我们评估全球安全态势之际，美军仍处于最高戒备状态，”该司令部在一份声明中表示。
“我们还要感谢英国在安全事务上与美军的紧密合作。”
英国反恐官员告诫不要过早推断可能存在的间谍或恐怖主义动机。
“我们非常清楚近期军事基地周边引发的高度关注和担忧，”伦敦反恐警务负责人海伦·弗拉纳根表示。
弗拉纳根补充说，调查人员尚未确认莫尔斯沃思基地的闯入事件与另一个美国战略轰炸机驻扎的英国基地费尔福德皇家空军基地近期的安保担忧存在关联。
“我们目前持开放态度，调查仍在进行中，”她说。

Two Latvian nationals legally living in the United Kingdom were arrested under Section 4 of Britain’s National Security Act of 2023 Thursday after allegedly breaching a perimeter fence at RAF Molesworth, a sensitive British military base housing critical U.S. and NATO intelligence operations, Reuters reported.
The arrests triggered a major counterterrorism investigation into the security breach at the strategic installation, which serves as a central intelligence hub supporting American military commanders across Europe and Africa.
The base is also undergoing a $556.5 million expansion centered on the Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex (JIAC), a location designed to consolidate 20 intelligence facilities and accommodate more than 1,000 personnel, according to reports.

The suspects, ages 32 and 36, were discovered inside the base around 2 a.m. Thursday after an extensive security sweep.
Ministry of Defense Police officers conducting routine patrols first raised the alarm around 10 p.m. Wednesday after finding an abandoned vehicle near the perimeter.

Bomb disposal specialists cleared the vehicle before armed officers discovered a fence breach and located the men inside.
Initially detained on suspicion of trespass and criminal damage, both men were arrested again under the National Security Act for allegedly entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the United Kingdom. They remain in custody as counterterrorism detectives execute search warrants at two residential properties in nearby Peterborough.
Managed by the U.S. Air Force’s 423rd Air Base Group, RAF Molesworth is a nonflying installation dedicated to joint intelligence and command operations.
It houses intelligence elements for U.S. European Command, U.S. Africa Command and the NATO Intelligence Fusion Centre.
During World War II, the airfield was used by the U.S. 15th Bombardment Squadron. In 1973, the airfield was officially deactivated before transitioning into its current role as an intelligence center.
Construction on the JIAC broke ground April 12, 2024, with onsite work beginning that spring. The facility is scheduled for completion in summer 2028.

A 2024 Defense Department release described the base development as part of the department’s overall European Infrastructure Consolidation efforts.
“It will combine 20 facilities and over 1,000 DIA personnel into one location. Among others, it will host members of the NATO Intelligence Fusion Centre, Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation System, U.S. Africa Command, U.S. European Command and U.S. Air Force elements in a cross-agency, multi-mission collaboration.”
At the time, Defense Intelligence Agency Deputy Director Suzanne White said the facility would enable “the U.S. and allies’ shared mission of ‘outpacing our strategic competitors and addressing threats together wherever they may arise.’”
The Defense Department designed the project with a two-stage procurement strategy, allowing stakeholder agencies to provide feedback and streamline scheduling requirements.
Following the intrusion, U.S. European Command praised the swift British response.

“While we assess the global security posture, U.S. forces remain at the highest state of readiness,” the command said in a statement.
“We would also express our gratitude to the UK for the close partnership with U.S. forces on matters of security.”
British counterterrorism officials cautioned against drawing premature conclusions about possible espionage or terrorist motives.
“We’re very aware of the recent heightened interest and concern around military sites,” Counterterrorism Policing London commander Helen Flanagan said.
Flanagan added that investigators have not established a connection between the Molesworth breach and recent security concerns at RAF Fairford, another British base used by U.S. strategic bombers.
“We are keeping an open mind at this stage and inquiries are very much ongoing,” she said.
