　　美国华盛顿时报9月7日报道称：美国国防部的一份文件显示，在2008年发生中美舰船对峙中，中国曾用一种神秘光束照射美国“胜利”号间谍船（也叫做海洋监听船），致使部分船员被短暂致盲。

　　美媒报道说，2008年，一艘中国舰艇向一艘在“国际海域”运作的美国海军海洋监听船发出一种神秘光高能光束，造成其部分船员出现短暂致盲。维基解密网站最新公布的一份美国务院电报称，该船只为美海军“胜利”号监听船，此次明显的致盲攻击发生在东海。据该机密电报显示：“2008年3月8日，中国旅沪级导弹驱逐舰DD-112以高亮度白光束照射美海军胜利号近30分钟的时间。”“该光束非常刺眼，使得舰上人员视觉暂时受损。”

　　美媒报道说，一份8月30日公布的国务院电报中简要地叙述了该事件。不过，电报并非由五角大楼披露。至于该光束是激光，还是高强探照灯，这一点无法了解到。美海军及五角大楼发言人也没有立即作出评论。

　　美媒提到，此前发生过类似事件，1997年一艘俄罗斯商船上有人进行过一次激光攻击，造成海军少校戴利（JackDaly）眼睛受伤。当时，他正在华盛顿州普吉湾胡安德富卡（JuandeFuca）海峡上空，一架加拿大武装直升机上执行空中侦察任务。该事件也一直秘而不宣，直到《华盛顿时报》对其进行披露。该电报称，2008年的致盲事件中，有8架轰-6（B-6）轰炸机于4小时时间里，飞到“胜利”号的附近或上空，也是在这期间，“旅沪”级导弹驱逐舰DD-112向该船发射强烈光照。据确定，这些轰炸机是执行飞行训练，并不是对该船只海洋作业的一个回应。美军太平洋司令部情报中心“不能完成排除中国军队使用'胜利’号作为轰-6轰炸机飞越该区域一次训练机会的可能性”。

　　美媒报道说，在该电报中，美国政府抱怨“中国这种行动是挑衅，不符合海洋法规定的法律义务”，并称“中国对胜利号的行为构成了严重的干扰，并提高了错误估计的风险。”该电报称：“在该船只被强光束照射之前，其还受到旅沪级或旅大级以及海洋巡逻艇的跟踪。此外，中国运-12等飞机还曾对胜利号进行过75次低空飞近示警。

　　2009年，时任国家情报总监丹尼斯?布莱尔在一次参议院听证会上表示，中国在寻求维持对200海里专属经济区的控制方面日益主动。至此，此次中国对美国海军舰艇的“干扰”才浮出水面。2009年3月9日发生中国舰艇在南海驱逐美国海军“无瑕”号间谍船事件。（春风）★
CHINA BLINDED U.S. CREW A Chinese warship fired a high-powered beam of light that disrupted the vision of crew members aboard a U.S. Navy surveillance ship operating in international waters in 2008. According to a newly released State Department cable, the apparent blinding attack on the USNS Victorious, an ocean survey ship, occurred in the East China Sea. “On March 8, 2008, [Chinese] Luhu-class DD112 shined a high-intensity, narrow-beam white light at USNS Victorious for approximately 30 minutes,” the cable, labeled “secret,” said. “The light was of such intensity that it temporarily impaired the visual acumen of USNS Victorious personnel and thereby constituted a hazard to navigation.” The incident was outlined in a State Department cable made public Aug. 30. It was never disclosed by the Pentagon. It could not be learned whether the light beam was a laser or high-powered searchlight. Navy and Pentagon spokesman had no immediate comment. The East China Sea incident appears similar to a laser attack carried out in 1997 by someone aboard a Russian merchant ship. The attack damaged the eyes of Navy Lt. Cmdr. Jack Daly, who was conducting an aerial reconnaissance mission aboard a Canadian military helicopter over the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington state’s Puget Sound. That incident also was kept secret until disclosed by The Washington Times. The cable stated that during the 2008 blinding, eight B-6 bombers flew near or over the Victorious during a four-hour period that “partially overlapped the intense illumination of the Victorious by the Luhu-class DD112.” The bomber flights were assessed to be training missions and not a reaction to the ship’s ocean survey. The U.S. Pacific Command’s intelligence center “could not completely rule out that the Chinese military used USNS Victorious as a training opportunity as the B-6 aircraft transited the area,” the cable said. The cable, disclosed by the anti-secrecy portal WikiLeaks, was sent by then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the U.S. Embassy in Beijing in outlining a protest note on the incident. The U.S. government complained that “China’s conduct as described above, … is provocative and inconsistent with China’s legal obligations under the law of the sea,” the cable said. “China’s activities regarding USNS Victorious constitute serious harassment and elevate the risk of miscalculation.” The cable said prior to the beam illumination of the ship, it was shadowed by Luhu- or Luda-class warships, Wagor oceanographic and patrol vessels. The Victorious was also buzzed by Chinese Y-12 and B-6 aircraft 75 times in low-altitude passes over the U.S. ship. Story Continues → View Entire Story
