Malaysiakini : The police have confirmed that the object found under lawyer-activist Siti Kasim’s car earlier today is a bomb, and further investigation will be carried out on it.
Harian Metro quoted Brickfields district police chief Amihizam Abdul Shukor as saying that a bomb squad and firefighters were dispatched to the scene following a report of the incident at 12.38pm today.
Siti earlier reported that the object was found attached to the undercarriage of her Toyota Celica when she sent it for servicing at a workshop in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, earlier today.
“As soon as the call was received, police immediately closed the area surrounding the car that had the explosive device, and summoned the bomb squad and firefighters.
“Checks found two plastic bottles placed on the back tyre, believed to be an IED bomb,” Amihizam said.
IED stands for improvised explosive device.
Cogito Ergo Sum : The police must provide her with 24/7 protection with this revelation. She may not be a big shot or a titled person but she is a people’s lawyer…a friend of the man on the street.
[More to follow]If the perpetrators are caught, they must be dealt with for attempted murder. And those behind them must be exposed. The Madani administration must deal with this increasingly dangerous and serious threat.
BrownPony7261 : The great lengths some extremists would go. Thankfully Siti is safe. One reason many progressive voices among the dominant race prefer to keep quiet.
