Church Arsons: Police Monitoring Blogs, Social Networking Sites

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 (Bernama) -- The police are monitoring blogs and social networking sites to source for credible information on several cases of arson at churches in the country.

Bukit Aman CID director Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Mohd Zinin said a special team was set up to investigate the cases round-the-clock in an effort to identify the perpetrators.

"All leads are looked into although how insignificant they may appear," he said in a statement here on Wednesday.

He was commenting on an article in English local newspaper, which implied the police had been ineffective in tracking down the offenders as well as those involved in cases that sparked public interest.

Mohd Bakri said the cases have to be handled fairly and expeditiously.

However, he advised the public to remain calm and not to speculate or spread any rumour on the cases.
