Police today exploded two jars suspected to be bombs, found at popular tourist spot Aquaria KLCC.

Hang Tuah Fire and Rescue Department operations commander Fuad Omar told Malaysiakini the items were successfully destroyed by a robot handled by the police bomb squad at about 7.45pm.

“The bombs were fashioned out of jars. There was no untoward incident,” he said when contacted.

However, inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar said preliminary investigations on the exploded items found that they were not bombs, but experiments left by school children who had visited KLCC.

"The experiment on light placed in jars is called STARLAB, and was given to students as souvenirs by Petrosains," Khalid tweeted at about 10.20pm.
