美陆军高级士兵在英国被捕 涉为俄罗斯从事间谍活动
英国 Gloucester — 英国大都会警察局11月10日通报，一名41岁的美国陆军士兵当天在 Gloucester 附近被英国反恐警察逮捕，涉嫌触犯英国《国家安全法》第1条和第3条，相关指控涉及俄罗斯。该男子目前被羁押在伦敦一处警察局，调查人员正在 Gloucestershire 的两处地点进行搜查。美军方面称，被捕者是一名接触过敏感信息的高级士兵。
大都会警察局说，这次逮捕由其下属的反恐警察局伦敦分局牵头调查，调查过程中与美国当局、美军和联邦调查局（FBI）密切合作。警方表示，该调查与其他正在进行的反恐警察调查无关，调查仍在继续。事件仍在发展中。
英国反恐警察高级全国协调员、助理警察局长 Vicki Evans 说，这次重要的逮捕和调查是英美当局密切协作的结果，指控性质严重，调查正在深入进行，英美执法与国家安全伙伴关系将对涉嫌危害国家安全的犯罪活动采取有力行动。
联邦调查局局长 Kash Patel 说，这次重要逮捕涉及间谍指控，这是美国及其盟友最为关切的问题，联邦调查局对任何违背对美国的誓言、危害美国及伙伴国家安全的人零容忍。他说，过去21个月联邦调查局已作出167起反情报与间谍逮捕，比此前增加53%，并感谢英国反恐警察、军情五处、英国国防反情报部门和美国陆军反情报司令部的合作。
美国陆军反情报司令部司令 Sean Stinchon 准将说，这起案件显示了伙伴关系的力量和反情报界的决心，一名接触过敏感信息的高级士兵被指作出这样的行为，提醒人们内部威胁真实存在且持续存在，他呼吁任何察觉可疑情况的人向当地反情报办公室报告。
据英国《泰晤士报》报道，被捕士兵据信驻扎在 Innsworth 的 Imjin Barracks，那里是北约盟军快速反应部队司令部所在地。英国警方尚未公布被捕者的姓名，也未公布指控涉及的具体信息内容。

Senior U.S. Army Soldier Arrested in Britain on Suspicion of Spying for Russia
GLOUCESTER, England — A 41-year-old member of the U.S. Army was arrested near Gloucester on Tuesday, November 10, on suspicion of offences under Section 1 and Section 3 of Britain's National Security Act 2023, and the allegations relate to Russia, the Metropolitan Police said. The man remains in custody at a London police station, and officers are carrying out searches at two locations in Gloucestershire. U.S. Army officials described the man as a senior soldier who had been entrusted with sensitive information.
The Metropolitan Police said the investigation is being led by Counter Terrorism Policing London, working closely with U.S. authorities, the U.S. military and the FBI. The investigation is not linked to any other ongoing Counter Terrorism Policing investigations, and enquiries continue. The case is still developing.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans, Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, said the significant arrest and investigation were the result of close collaboration between U.K. and U.S. authorities, that the allegations are serious, and that the investigation is very much ongoing.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the important arrest involves allegations of espionage, which he said are of the utmost concern to the United States and its allies, and that the FBI has no tolerance for anyone who breaks their oath to the United States and endangers the national security of the United States and its partners. He said the FBI has made 167 counterintelligence and espionage arrests over the last 21 months, a 53 percent increase, and thanked U.K. Counter Terrorism Policing, MI5, U.K. Defence Counter Intelligence, and the U.S. Army Counterintelligence Command.
Brig. Gen. Sean Stinchon, commanding general of U.S. Army Counterintelligence Command, said the alleged conduct of a senior soldier entrusted with sensitive information was a sobering reminder that insider threats are real and persistent, and he urged anyone who thinks they have witnessed something suspicious to report it to their local counterintelligence office.
The Times reported that the soldier is understood to have been stationed at Imjin Barracks near Innsworth, where NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps has its headquarters. British police have not released the man's name or details of the information the allegations concern.
