BOMB IN KLIA: It's not true - cops

SEPANG - Police have dismissed rumours that a bomb was found nearby the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) here yesterday.

The rumours which spread quickly on social media caused panic among the public.

Sepang police chief ASP Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim confirmed to reporters here today that police did not receive any such report.

“No bomb was found near KLIA yesterday. This is not true,” he said, adding that he was aware of the claim that was spread on social media.

According to the message that was spread on the Whatsapp application since yesterday, a bomb had been placed within a 30-kilomtre radius of KLIA.

However, a picture uploaded with a message showed the employment pass of a male MASKargo employee named ‘Bom’.
