NSW: NZ detectives uncover alleged Olympic terrorist plot
New Zealand police have reportedly uncovered a terrorist plot against Australia's Lucas
Heights nuclear reactor during the Olympic Games.

The New Zealand Herald newspaper says detectives have uncovered a plot -- hatched out
by Afghan sympathisers of wanted-terrorist OSAMA BIN LADEN -- to attack the Lucas Heights
reactor in Sydney's south.

Sydney radio station 2UE says Auckland police reportedly found that a home in New Zealand
had been converted into a virtual command centre, with detailed maps of Sydney and notes
on police security tactics used at the Auckland Commonwealth Games.

2UE says the newspaper also says Australian authorities are taking the discovery seriously,
and may order the reactor to shut down during the Games.
