"Terrorism raid on jail: police accused"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "POLICE have raided homes in Sydney and inmates' cells at Goulburn prison in a fresh counter-terrorism swoop.
The Herald learned that the raids - orchestrated by ASIO, the Australian Federal Police and NSW police - resulted in the seizure of several documents, including notes made by the terrorist suspect Omar Baladjam.
His lawyer, Greg Walsh, said the seizure was a serious breach of legal privilege. Baladjam, who had a bit part in Home and Away, was arrested in an anti-terrorism swoop in November and is in the Super Max wing of Goulburn prison.
A spokesman for the Australian Federal Police confirmed last night that the raids in Hoxton Park, Bankstown and Goulburn jail took place on March 9. He said the search warrants were in relation to Operation Pendennis, the 18-month investigation that has led to 20 arrests in Sydney and Melbourne since November.
Police say those raids foiled a terrorist attack on both cities, and that those arrested had plotted to buy large amounts of chemicals and detonators."
