Car seized in terror investigation
POLICE in Sydney have seized a partially burnt-out car as part of ongoing counter-terrorism investigations, New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma said.

The car was found in Northern Avenue at Bankstown, in Sydney's southwest, earlier today.
Mr Iemma said hazardous materials experts and bomb squad officers had taken the car to an undisclosed location.

"The vehicle may contain items that could be of interest to authorities as part of their ongoing investigations," Mr Iemma said.

"The vehicle has been taken to an undisclosed location for further forensic examination.

"The incident follows events in Sydney and Melbourne earlier this week."

The discovery follows the arrests of 17 men on Tuesday during police raids on properties in Sydney and Melbourne.
All 17 have been charged with terrorism-related offences. Some also face other charges.

An AFP spokeswoman today refused to confirm if the operation was related to Tuesday's raids.

"We are treating this matter seriously and are trying to determine if there is any link," she said.
