While police are still investigating the three mysterious explosions outside the Kuala Lumpur court complex on Monday, the Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia today quoted a police source as saying that the home-made bombs were believed to have been brought in by participants of the '901 Free Anwar' rally.

NONEIn its front page story today, the Malay daily quoted an unnamed police source as saying that police personnel had inspected the court complex compound before the rally began and found nothing dangerous.

Preliminary investigations showed that the bombs were brought by those who took part in the rally, the source was quoted as saying.

“In addition to being thoroughly inspected, the area had been guarded by police personnel since a day before the rally.

“A final inspection was carried out before rally participants were allowed to gather and no dangerous object was found,” the source told Utusan.

The investigation is taking time because there are no CCTVs in the area, the source is quoted as saying.

The report is the first to link the explosions to the 901 rally participants. To date, no police officer has publicly speculated on the identity of those behind the bombs.  

Four people were injured in the three explosions in the vicinity of the court complex on Jalan Duta, after the High Court acquitted Anwar Ibrahim of sodomy.
