KUALA LUMPUR: The Police Bomb Disposal Unit and firemen were rushed to the Kuala Lumpur City Centre's Twin Towers here earlier today following the discovery of several bags left unsupervised at the compound of Tower 2.
It was learnt that the items, feared to be containing explosives, were found in between the entrance of the tower and Suria KLCC's Ampang entrance in the morning.
Information received from the city Fire and Rescue Department operations centre stated that three fire engines including one from its Hazardous Materials Unit were despatched to the scene after receiving a request from police at 12.35pm.
Two explosions were heard at about 1.15pm and 1.45pm. It is learnt that the bags were destroyed by the bomb squad using their remote controlled robot as a precautionary measure.
However, it has yet to be confirmed by authorities whether the bags contained any explosive or dangerous materials.
A team of policemen from the Forensics Unit were then seen canvassing the crime scene and gathering evidence for their investigation.
Dang Wangi police chief Assistant Commissioner Zainol Samah said police checks found that the three bags found at the scene only contained clothing.
No explosives were found.
