KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — A crudely made bomb was found near the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) railway track in Jalan Kolam Air 9 in Sentul during peak hours on Wednesday, in what is believed to be an apparent case of “sabotage”.

Police were alerted to the explosive — a mineral water bottle wrapped in a plastic and newspaper — along the tracks by KTMB’s auxiliary personnel at 4.35pm.

A police source said the bottle contained gunpowder, ball bearings and glass shrapnel wrapped in a cylinder-shaped cardboard paper and plastic.

He said the top part of the bottle was covered with a cone-shaped polyvinyl chloride pipe and contained gunpowder similar to that used for fireworks.

“It was an explosive. Sentul police immediately contacted Special Branch when they saw the contents in the bottle,” the source added.
