Mystery still surrounds the explosives found on the grounds of Sweden’s largest nuclear power plant last Wednesday. With police providing little information, a terrorist expert speculated the incident might have been an attempt, perhaps by terrorists, to test the security system of the Ringhals power plant with a later attack in mind. The explosives were found by a fork-lift operators. Bomb-sniffing dogs searched the plant’s vast area – the size of 150 football fields – but found no additional explosives.
Security officers at the plant say that the plant’s fence system was not breached, and that surveillance cameras covering the plant’s perimeter showed no attempt to scale the fences or dig under them. Security experts say that the tentative, and more worrisome, conclusion is that the explosives were brought in through the main gates by someone who had the right permits to enter the facility.
