  • One killed in blast in Bukit Bintang in KL

    This is rather worrying, and lucky not more people were killed as I know the area well and it gets very busy. If there was indeed a second device then that looks more than just an isolated incident and not just 'gang related'....

    One person has been killed and 13 others injured in an explosion in a popular entertainment district of the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur.

    Police said a suspected grenade was thrown onto the street outside a bar in the Bukit Bintang area in the early hours of the morning.

    A second unexploded device was found underneath a parked car.

    It was not immediately clear who was behind the blast but police told local media they suspected gang violence.

    The man who was killed was a Malaysian parking attendant who died of his injuries in hospital.

    Two Chinese nationals, a Singaporean and a Thai were among the injured, a police chief said.

    The authorities in the Muslim-majority country have not ruled out terrorism as a link in the case but local media reports suggest that this was part of a feud between gangs, reports the BBC's Jennifer Pak in Kuala Lumpur.

    Prime Minister Najib Razak condemned the violence and said it would not be tolerated.

    "The perpetrators of this crime will be found and brought to justice," he said.

    Gangland feud was suspected to have fuelled the attack. And honestly speaking, I wouldn't put it beyond ruthless characters to make sure the target gets killed, given his notoriety.
