A caravan filled with explosives potentially intended for the Jewish community was powerful enough to detonate a 40-metre blast radius—about 151 feet or the equivalent of two tennis courts.

The vehicle was discovered by a member of the public parked on a road in Dural, northwest of Sydney from Dec. 7 to Jan. 19.
