Sydney reactor a ‘possible target’ for terrorists

POLICE believe a nuclear reactor in southern Sydney was a possible target of a Sydney-based Islamic terror cell, according to details of Australia’s biggest-ever counter-terror investigation released yesterday.

Police previously stopped and questioned three recently-arrested Sydney terror suspects near Australia’s only nuclear reactor in December last year, according to an alarming outline of police allegations.

The document, made public by Sydney’s Central Local Court, outlined the allegations against eight terror suspects arrested last week and charged with planning a terrorist attack.
