Explosives-filled caravan found in Sydney

ai generated text

Australian police discovered a caravan filled with Powergel explosives on a rural property in Dural, northwest Sydney, on January 19. Notes found inside suggest that Jewish Australians and a synagogue were the intended targets of an anti-Jewish terrorist attack. Police believe the caravan had the potential to cause a "mass casualty event" if used as intended. Over 100 officers were mobilized to the scene and an investigation is ongoing.

    1. I want to make it incredibly clear that anyone attempting this level of violence will be met with the full force of a massive and growing police response.
    2. That's what we're very worried about… It would strike terror in the community, particularly the Jewish, and it must be met with the full force of the police and government.
    3. We believe there is some connection between some of the targets we've charged under Strike Force Pearl, and this particular investigation.
    4. There's bad actors in our community, badly motivated, bad ideologies, bad morals, bad ethics, bad people. They're intent on doing damage and harm to others in our community, people they've never met before, purely on the basis of their religion.

    1. The discovery and the detection of the caravan with an amount of explosives was not going to be used in the normal antisemitic attack that we have seen occur in Sydney, such as graffiti and arson attack.
    2. We can't speculate about what happened until we actually investigate that.
    3. This is certainly an escalation of that, with the use of explosives that have the potential to cause a great deal of damage.
    4. We understand the concerns of the Jewish community and we take these threats exceptionally seriously.

    1. We believe criminals-for-hire may be behind some incidents.
