PETALING JAYA: Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain has described the suspected bomb founder underneath Siti Kasim’s car as an attempt to murder the lawyer-activist.
Razarudin said the cops are still working on tracking down the suspect by looking for any fingerprints found on the objects and other related evidence, Harian Metro reported.
“The bomb (placed under Siti’s car) is a serious crime and such a threat is akin to attempted murder. Further investigations are being conducted by the Kuala Lumpur police,” he was quoted as saying.
The IGP added that the police is taking “aggressive action” over this case and urged members of the public against speculating on the matter.
Last Friday, Siti said she was alerted to two suspicious objects underneath her car after she sent it to a workshop in Kuala Lumpur.
She posted a video on Facebook of what looked like plastic water bottles that were attached to the suspension on one of her car tyres, saying: “It looks like a bomb”. A bomb squad was dispatched after Siti called the cops.
Brickfields police chief Amihizam Abdul Shukor later said the objects were believed to be an improvised explosive device (IED), adding that the area in Jalan Maarof, Bangsar was immediately cordoned off after Siti called the cops. - FMT
