Militant’s plot goes up in smoke


Bomb threat: Counter Terrorism Division officers arresting the restaurant worker in Tapah.

KUALA LUMPUR: A restaurant helper spent months planning to bomb the Tapah police district headquarters in Perak and hoped to get the explosives from an Islamic State (IS) cell in Indonesia.

His plan was to use a car bomb – he wanted to park the vehicle next to an oil storage tank at the Tapah bus station which was near the police building, and then detonate it.
