都柏林梅里恩广场发现可爆炸装置,军方拆弹组排除险情:各国领导人前夜刚在广场对面晚宴

爱尔兰警方11月13日下午在都柏林市中心梅里恩广场(Merrion Square)一栋办公楼内发现一枚可爆炸的装置,军方拆弹组到场后将其安全排除。就在前一天晚上,欧洲政治共同体各国领导人刚在广场另一侧的爱尔兰国家美术馆共进晚宴。
爱尔兰警察部队(An Garda Síochána)发表声明说,13日下午2时20分过后不久,警方接报称梅里恩广场一栋办公楼内有一件可疑装置。经警方初步评估,国防军爆炸物处理小组(EOD)被召到场处置,已将这枚装置安全排除。警方形容该装置「简陋但确实可爆炸」。一项调查已经展开;声明没有说明警方认为装置是何时被放置的,也没有公布更多细节。
事发时正值峰会第二天。欧洲政治共同体峰会11月12日在都柏林举行,爱尔兰总理 Micheál Martin 在爱尔兰国家美术馆主持晚宴,法国总统马克龙、英国首相 Andy Burnham 与作为嘉宾出席的加拿大总理 Mark Carney 等领导人到场。11月13日,欧盟领导人非正式会议在距梅里恩广场约1.5公里的都柏林会议中心继续举行。事发后,涉事办公楼周边拉起了警戒线。

Viable Explosive Device Found by Dublin's Merrion Square and Made Safe, a Day After World Leaders Dined Across the Square
Irish police found a viable explosive device at an office building on Merrion Square in central Dublin on Friday afternoon, November 13, and army bomb disposal experts made it safe. Just a day earlier, leaders of the European Political Community had dined at the National Gallery of Ireland on another side of the same square.
An Garda Síochána, the Irish police force, said in a statement that shortly after 2:20 p.m. officers responded to a report of a suspicious device at an office building in Merrion Square, Dublin 2. Based on the initial Garda assessment, a Defence Forces Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team was requested to attend the scene and made safe what the police described as "a crude but viable device." An investigation has commenced. The statement did not say when police believe the device was planted or give other details.
The discovery came on the second day of a summit in the Irish capital. European Political Community leaders met in Dublin on November 12, and Taoiseach Micheál Martin hosted a dinner at the National Gallery of Ireland attended by French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who was a guest at the event. On November 13, EU leaders continued with an informal meeting at a convention centre about 1.5 kilometres from where the device was found. A security cordon was put in place around the office building.
