Eight people, including four believed to be ethnic Uighurs, have been detained in Malaysia for questioning in connection with last month’s bombing of a shrine in Bangkok that killed 20 people, a senior official has said.
The national deputy police chief, Noor Rashid Ibrahim, said they were detained in the past week in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, and in north-eastern Kelantan state.
Four of the eight were Malaysians involved in human trafficking, while the others were believed to be Uighur men who entered the country illegally, he said. While there is no evidence they were directly involved in the bombing, they are being investigated to see if they had any role in other activities surrounding the blast.
