AUSTRALIAN police suspect that explosives found stashed on Sydney’s outskirts are evidence of a deadly escalation in a months-long campaign of anti-semitic arson and graffiti attacks in major cities, officials said today.

Police found a list of Jewish targets and a cache of Powergel, an explosive used in the mining industry, in a trailer in the outer suburb of Dural on January 19, New South Wales Deputy Police Commissioner David Hudson said.

He said there were enough explosives to make a bomb with a blast of 130 feet.
