MUAR: Villagers in Kampung Parit Ulu, Kampung Parit Raja Sari and Kampung Jalan Mahmood near Bukit Batu in Bakri here were shocked to discover that the bags of “fertiliser” seized by police from a plantation actually contained an ingredient for making bombs. 

When approached by the media, the villagers - many of whom are related to a suspected Jemaah Islamiah (JI) member arrested on Friday - declined to be identified but willingly gave directions to the plantation where police recovered four tonnes of ammonia nitrate on Saturday.
