SEPANG: A lorry driver in Kajang collected a heavy package from a rubbish pile in Sungai Balak and unknowingly transported it to his home. Md Raduan Ghani, 41, discovered the package after finishing work and transporting it back to his residence in Kampung Dato Ahmad Razali. The red plastic bag contained three hidden mortar bombs that Raduan found shocking upon inspection.
He promptly notified a neighbor, who informed the police. Sepang police chief, Assistant Commissioner Norhizam Bahaman, received the report around 3:30 PM on Friday. Dengkil police officers secured the area and dispatched a Bomb Disposal Unit team from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The three suspected bomb objects were safely removed and will be destroyed the following day.
