原标题：ISIS成员：正筹划在纽约发动猛烈袭击
中国日报网9月29日电（小唐） 据《纽约每日新闻》27日报道称，极端组织“伊斯兰国
”（ISIS）的一名成员宣称，该组织正筹划在纽约发动袭击，而其目标是未来让该组织
旗帜在白宫上空飘荡。
“如果情况允许的话，我们很快就会在纽约发动恐怖袭击。”这名自称法拉赫·希雷顿
的加拿大人通过视频对外界说，“很多兄弟正在那里进行活动。”他还断定美国的武装
分子势必发动一场猛烈的袭击。
他还说：“我还知道很多人——数以千计的人——目前生活在西部，准备好在你们的土
地上行动。”他们的终极目标是看到ISIS的旗帜飘扬在白宫上空。
伊拉克总理阿巴迪最近也提醒称恐怖分子要在纽约和巴黎的地铁发动袭击。为了安抚民
众的恐慌情绪，纽约市市长白思豪25日出现在纽约地铁，向市民保证地铁的安全性。此
外，警长和纽约州的州长还分别乘坐不同的地铁线，向公众证明地铁的安全性。白宫也
回应说，美方情报部门没有收到任何针对地铁的恐怖袭击情报，但表示会进一步研究伊
拉克方面的情报。

前不久，纽约曼哈顿中国城有26人因涉嫌为中国移民非法办理政治避难被警方
抓捕，其中21人就职于律师事务所，4人在纽约皇后区政治庇护办公室担任翻译，一时
引起很大反响。
其实此类案件并非个案，也远未终结。近年来，入境美国后非法滞留的中国大
陆人员人数不断上升，这些非法移民背景复杂，不仅有教育程度不高的农民、工人，也
有受过高等教育的中小企业主、科研人员、教师、医生等。他们大多数人英语程度较低
，所掌握的技能无法适应美国社会需要，只得游离于主流社会之外，靠赚华人的钱维持
生计，生活艰难。为了获取在美国居留的合法身份，不少移民纷纷打起“政治庇护”的
主意。
作为一名从事移民事务的美国志愿者，也接触过不少中国非法移民案件，其中
申请政治庇护的案件中大多数是虚假的。特别是近年来，一些中国非法移民在美国当地
法轮功学员和移民服务中心指使下，伪造自己在中国大陆修炼法轮功被迫害的材料，向
移民部门申请政治庇护，此类案例在申请政治庇护案件中比例很大。在我所了解的案件
中，真正出于纯政治原因申请政治庇护的非法移民的比例仅占1%-2%。我曾工作过的两

good point---3D shows nothing but a suit preference
of the 5+d promised over the 4 spades promised in 1d-2s.
i.e. South's having one Ace doesn't necessarily lead to
a slam.
Moreover, North (of course not North with THIS hand) could
even pass 3D. 1D-2S doesn't promise a game. So if I were
North, based on such a 3D(passable) plus the 4C later(that
shows slam interest), supposing they are consistent, there
would be a 6 without ace asking, but no 7 (without ace asking either).

D. 3H shows H can be playable and 3NT may not be good. So it is a

发帖数: 20570 | 31 I think a natural 3S over 3D is probably fine. This is probably the only way
to bid 5-4 majors and strong hand. Also, 3S can be the only bid to get you
to 4S when partner holds some value and 3-3-5-2 shape.
Also, 4D is passable if partner is really broken IMO. I don't mind playing
it as generally forcing, but partner can really be broken sometimes and you
may not have a safe spot above 4D, especially after the redouble. For
example, AKQJ KQJx AKxx x. 4D here can be high if D doesn't break well.
