Australian police have raised concerns over a potential deadly escalation in a campaign of antisemitic arson and graffiti crimes following the discovery of explosives in Sydney's outskirts. The explosives, believed to be intended for use in attacks on Jewish targets, were found in a trailer in the outer suburb of Dural on Jan. 19.
The cache of Powergel, an explosive commonly used in the mining industry, was accompanied by a list of Jewish targets. Authorities have expressed alarm at the discovery, noting that there was enough explosive material to create a bomb with a blast radius of 40 meters.
