In KUALA LUMPUR, a mortar bomb dating back to the Second World War was discovered by two labourers at the Puncak Jalil housing project in Bukit Jalil here on Monday.

City Police Bomb Disposal Unit officer Chief Insp Ahmad Jais Ujang said labourers discovered the bomb at 8.30 am but failed to report it immediately as they were not certain that it was an explosive device.

"However, the main contractor who arrived later was told of the discovery and after confirming it was a bomb, notified the police at 2.30 pm," he said at the scene.

Ahmad Jais said the bomb was successfully detonated.
