The fake caravan plot involved several people with different levels of involvement, according to police. Between them, they had planned to purchase a caravan, load it with explosives and antisemitic materials and leave it in a specific location, before informing law enforcement about "an impending terror attack against Jewish Australians".

The Australian Federal Police knew a caravan laden with ­explosives existed before it was found at Dural, but did not inform NSW Police until a local man moved it.

SYDNEY : A supposed plot to use explosives stashed in a caravan in a “terrorism event” targeting Jewish residents in Australia has been revealed to be a hoax, police said on Monday.
