Malaysia: Indonesian Consulate Receives Suspicious Package
PENANG, Oct 8 (Bernama) -- The Indonesian Consulate here too became the latest foreign mission to receive a suspicious package Saturday. A witness, Made Jaafar Abdullah, 53, [president of the Indonesian Students' Association in Penang] said he noticed a Caucasian man surrender an envelope to a guard at the entrance of the consulate at 6.40 pm, but when the guard came out of the guardhouse to confront him, the man took off...Police and a team from the Fire and Rescue Services Department arrived a short while later and took away the package to be examined. This makes it the 15th incident in which suspicious packages have been sent to foreign missions in the country, the other 14, all containing harmless substances, were mailed to embassies in the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. Police have described them to be work of pranksters capitalising on the latest bombing incidents in Bali. Posted by: Pappy 2005-10-09 |
