Explosions rock court complex, five injured

KUALA LUMPUR: Three loud explosions rocked the Jalan Duta court complex this morning, minutes after Anwar Ibrahim was acquitted of a sodomy charge

The police confirmed that five people suffered injuries and urged the public not to panic. No arrests have been made.

City police chief Mohmad Salleh said the police are still in the early stages of investigation and have yet to identify the suspects, whom he described as “irresponsible parties”.

The explosives, he said, are believed to be home made bombs as police found remnants of wires, ball bearings, batteries and timers.

Two were hidden within police cones and one was placed in a rubbish bin.

“Do not panic, everything is under control. Do not speculate on the attack,” he said, adding that the case has been classified under the Arms Act (increased penalties) 1960.

A check by FMT found that the first blast occurred along Jalan Khidmat Usaha about 10.30am.

The police moved quickly to cordon off the area and asked the 2,000 strong crowd to disperse but two subsequent blasts followed.

Eyewitness Md Husain Mohd Samuri, 43, said that a shrapnel hit his right hand. He also saw two others injured and a Perodua Kembara car damaged.

“Its just bits from the cone but my friend Tan Eng Ghee was standing a few feet from the exploding cone and something shot into his leg,” he said.

“I believe this is sabotage by parties who want to prevent us from assembling,” alleged the PKR leader from Kota Raja.

A source from the emergency medical team said that the injury to one of the victims’ leg was serious as parts of the bone were visible.

The second man who was also injured in the first blast was said to be a lawyer and had suffered a cut lip and experienced difficulty breathing.

In the second blast, occurring some 15 minutes after the first, the bomb went off in a rubbish bin near a van selling drinks. Police said three people were injured in that blast.

The third blast occurred on Jalan Khidmat Setia in front of the Inland Revenue Board building. Several cars on both sides of the road were damaged.

PKR man among those injured

Selangor exco member Dr Xavier Jeyakumar who visited the victims at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital told FMT that six people were brought in for treatment.

Four of them, he said, suffered from “lacerations” due to the three different explosions.

He said one of them suffered from smoke inhalation due to the explosion. The other, he added, was hit with a heart attack during the rally.

“They’re all looking fine, they’re all jarred because of the effects (of the explosions),” he said.

“After the verdict, we came out, and that was when we heard the first explosion, the second, and then the third. At that time, we told people to disperse because there was no point for them to be there.”

Jeyakumar added that one of the five injured was a PKR Kota Raja division committee member.

Rally-goer S Ramon, 53, later told FMT that the heart attack patient was S Patavachalam, a Brickfields trader.

“We were walking (at the courts) and he collapsed, so we took him to the ambulance. It had nothing to do with the explosions,” he said. -FMT

Ulasan GB

Insiden letupan bom yang mencederakan lima orang dan merosakkan tujuh buah kereta semalam di perhimpunan aman 901 sebenarnya dirancang oleh pihak tertentu.

Polis telah membenarkan perhimpunan diadakan, untuk mengurangkan impak kejatuhan nama baik polis jika perhimpunan itu diharamkan sedangkan rakyat masih terus juga berhimpun seperti perhimpunan BERSIH 2.0 tahun lepas.

Namun dari sudut yang lain, insiden bom itu dilihat sebagai satu usaha provokasi melampau untuk menakut-nakutkan dan menghalang rakyat menghadiri perhimpunan aman di masa akan datang sekalipun perhimpuan aman itu nanti diberikan permit atau dalam erti kata dibenarkan oleh pihak berkuasa.

Itu kebenarannya.

Soal kini, ia angkara siapa?

GB bertanya kepada semua, siapa yang berani membuat dan meletupkan bom?

Perbuatan itu memang melampau. GB tidak boleh menuduh sesiapa tetapi rakyat boleh meneka ia angkara siapa.

Allah Maha Tahu dan kita serahkan kepadaNya untuk mendedah dan menghukum "pihak sebenar" yang melakukannya.
