KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5: At least 11 foreign embassies in the Malaysian capital have been sent suspicious packages containing threatening letters linked to the treatment of Muslims, police said on Wednesday.

The packages — which also contained compact discs and an unidentified liquid — were aimed at taking advantage of the security situation after the bomb attacks on the Indonesian island of Bali, police said.

Five missions — the United States, Russia, Britain, France and Australia — received packages on Wednesday bringing the number of missions hit by the scare to at least 11, Kuala Lumpur police chief said.—AFP
