Australian police find explosives they suspect are part of an anti-semitic plot
New South Wales Police Deputy Commissioner David Hudson speaks in Sydney, January 29, 2025, about the discovery of explosives stashed on Sydney's outskirts suspected to have been intended to escalate a campaign of antisemitic arson and graffiti crimes

AUSTRALIAN police suspect that explosives found stashed on Sydney’s outskirts are evidence of a deadly escalation in a months-long campaign of anti-semitic arson and graffiti attacks in major cities, officials said today.

Police found a list of Jewish targets and a cache of Powergel, an explosive used in the mining industry, in a trailer in the outer suburb of Dural on January 19, New South Wales Deputy Police Commissioner David Hudson said.

He said there were enough explosives to make a bomb with a blast of 130 feet.
