The wonders of our Malaysian bomb squad

Was reading through the STAR online and found this very interesting article about a bomb hoax at KLCC.


Bomb hoax at KLCC, bag of clothes detonated

By RASHITHA A. HAMID

KUALA LUMPUR: A bomb hoax at the Kuala Lumpur City Centre resulted in a few hundred people evacuating the Twin Towers Friday afternoon.

Bomb squad personnel who rushed to the scene detonated a bag believed to contain a bomb as they claimed the bag was emitting some noises.

Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman said a security guard found the bag near the parking autopay station at the ground floor carpark of Twin Tower 2 at 3pm.
The security guard immediately alerted the police, Fire and Rescue department and the bomb squad.

ACP Zulkarnanin said the carpark was evacuated and the bag was brought out to a vacant area about 100m away before it was detonated at 5.55pm.

"We found the bag only contained clothes after it was detonated," he said when contacted Friday.



Wow! I did not realised that we are so advanced that our Malaysian bomb squad can actually detonate a bag of clothes.

I wonder whats next.....
