IGP @KBAB51 confirms Puchong nightclub blast was terror attack



Police have confirmed that there are Islamic State elements involved in the grenade blast at the Movida nightclub in Puchong on June 28.

"Based on our investigations, we found there is truth to the involvement of IS elements in the incident," inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar told reporters in Kuala Lumpur.



He also revealed that 15 people have been arrested in connection with terror-related activities.

The attack, which occurred in the wee hours of the morning, left eight people injured. The police had initially ruled out terrorism, saying it could be gang-related.

However, a Facebook page linked to the IS had claimed responsibility for the incident.
