Probe on Siti Kasim car bomb hits dead end - police
The investigation into the two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) found underneath lawyer-activist Siti Kasim's car last month has reached a dead end.
Former Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain - who is being promoted to a federal position - said several CCTV camera recordings of the case did not show any potential suspects near Siti's car.
"We also did not find any fingerprints on the explosive devices. Only Siti's fingerprints were detected on the involved vehicle.
"For now, we don't have any leads to follow up on anyone. However, the investigation is ongoing, and the case has never been closed.
"We hope that anyone with information can come forward to the police for further investigation," he was quoted as saying by Berita Harian in Kuala Lumpur today.
Shuhaily, recently appointed as the new federal Criminal Investigation Department director, explained that the police had recorded statements from 13 individuals. Still, none of them could assist in the investigation.
All 13 individuals, aged between 26 and 60, consisted of friends, mechanics, security guards, and Siti herself.
On July 21, Siti sent her car to a service centre in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, before a mechanic found suspicious objects attached to the vehicle's undercarriage.
Police then deployed its bomb disposal unit and managed to remove the suspected bombs.
At the time, the police confirmed that the explosive devices were real but not switched on.
