EDS: reissuing to correct day references in second and third pars.



SYDNEY, Aug 27 AAP - NSW Police are being tightlipped about an operation at one of
Sydney Airport's terminals that is connected to an ongoing investigation.

A police spokesman says officers have occupied one of the terminals during airport
closing hours - late Wednesday and early Thursday.

Normal flight operations resume around 6am (AEST) on Thursday.

But the spokesman would not reveal anything other than the operation relates to "an
ongoing investigation".

Sydney Airport made national and international news in March when a brawl broke out
between rival bikie gangs in the domestic terminal.

Anthony Zervas, 29, was bludgeoned and stabbed during the incident and later died from
his injuries.

His brother Peter Zervas is a senior Hells Angels member and 11 members of the rival
Comanchero bikie club have been charged with his murder.
