Probe into Australian embassy incident
Malaysian police are investigating "a possible security incident" outside the Australian High Commission in Kuala Lumper last night, the Department of Foreign Affairs said today.
Foreign Affairs staff are seeking a briefing from Malaysian police following reports of a "bang" and a "flash" from a vehicle passing the High Commission at about 11pm AEST last night, a Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman told smh.com.au.
The incident occurred on the opposite side of the road from the High Commission and did not cause any damage.
The spokesman could not confirm whether it was an explosion.
He said there were no specific threats against Australia and that travel advisories to Malaysia would not change at this stage.
Malaysian police have increased their presence at the High Commission since the incident.
