(德國之聲中文網)北京警方稱,天安門廣場今天(10月28日)中午發生一起車輛起火、導致多人傷亡事件。據中國官方媒體報導,一輛吉普車衝入人群,撞上金水橋護欄並起火,司機和車上兩名乘客身亡。

北京市政府在其官方網站上發布,該事故目前造成5人死亡。除車上3人外,另外2名死者為來自菲律賓的女遊客和一名來自廣東南部的男遊客。另外網站還稱,共有38人受傷,其中3人來自菲律賓的遊客和1人來自日本。

事發後,當局出動大量警力封鎖了現場,安全力量在出事地點周圍設置了路障。

中國網路上的照片顯示紫禁城前廣場上一輛汽車燃燒,冒起黑煙、警車以及眾多圍觀者。很多圖片數分鐘後即遭審查當局屏蔽,通往天安門廣場的道路被封。兩名法新社記者一度被扣,在銷毀了其相機中的照片後,警方釋放了他們。

據北京交通機構稱,根據警方的要求,廣場附近的一個地鐵站關閉。一名義大利記者報告說,他同另外多名遊客中午時分被警方從廣場上請走。

網路上出現大量關於此次汽車起火事件背景的猜測。微博上有人稱,該車裝有炸藥,是發生爆炸,而非官方媒體所稱的僅僅是「起火」。一些社交網站上有網友猜測,車上人員可能是要以撞擊金水橋護欄表達對當局的抗議。有網友相信,這是一起自焚抗議事件。

中國外交部發言人華春瑩在被問及政府是否認為該事件是恐怖襲擊時,表示不瞭解具體情況,並拒絕進一步置評。

事故發生後,中央和北京市政府召開一次臨時會議,對此事展開迅速調查,以「確保首都的安全和穩定」。中國共產黨的十八屆三中全會將於下月召開。
