Australian Nuclear Site Targeted?
A nuclear research reactor was a possible target for a group of men arrested on terrorism charges last week in Australia, police have said.
Three of the 18 men arrested had been stopped near the reactor outside Sydney last December, a police document said. Police also alleged that some of the men attended military-style training camps in the country’s outback.
Defence lawyers say there is no evidence of a planned attack and the case is politically motivated.
The details of the police case against the men emerged as authorities in Brisbane ordered all trains and buses to stop during Monday’s rush hour, following telephoned threats.
Public transport was halted between 1645 (0645GMT) and 1715, but later resumed without incident after the calls were assumed to have been hoaxes.
