Breaking: Terror experts head to unit block (Australia)
COUNTER-terrorist bomb experts are making their way to a unit block and a street is in lockdown tonight after suspicious liquids and powders were discovered.The Newcastle neighbourhood has been locked down and some residents evacuated after police raided a top-floor unit in a suburban area late this afternoon and found the potentially deadly combination of substances, The Daily Telegraph reported. A man in his early 20s fled when police arrived. Sniffer dogs later found him hiding in the building's roof cavity. He was arrested at the scene and is tonight assisting police with inquiries. Chief Inspector Wayne Humphrey said the unit had been structurally altered - heightening police fears of what activity had been taking place inside. "There are obvious fears about what materials and substances were found in the unit, along with the structural changes to the building," Insp Humphrey said. Police, forensic specialists and NSW Fire Brigade HAZMAT officers are standing guard over the unit block. Structural changes? Were they digging a tunnel or what. Maybe just some innocent Paleo refugees got nostalgic for the good old days. Posted by: Phil_B 2009-07-23 |
