KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 (Bernama) -- A bomb found at the edge of a heap leaves underneath a tree near a food centre in Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz opposite the Celcom Tower here, just about half-a-kilometre from Bernama's headquarters, caused the road to be closed for more than two hours Thursday night.
According to a witness, Mohd Falini Mokhtar, 25, who works at the food centre, he noticed the presence of the black-coloured bomb at the heap of leaves at the tree by the sidewalk there at about 8pm while going about his work.
"I became afraid and ran to the Celcom Tower to inform the security guards there about it. After the guards came to look at it, they immediately alerted police," he told reporters at the scene.
Police, who arrived about 30 minutes later together with a Bomb Squad, sealed off the road and areas surrounding it before detonating it at 10.15pm.
The incident caused traffic to be snarled in the surrounding roads.
City police chief Datuk Muhammad Sabtu Osman when contacted confirmed the incident and said investigations were ongoing.
tunku : this is something very serious.i hope the police will investigate thoroughly.
