PASIR MAS: The six men detained by police on suspicion of possessing bomb-making components here on Sunday are Thai nationals from southern Thailand. Five of them are neighbours in Kampung Perol, Jenereh, here, while the sixth lives about 1km away. “My family was sleeping when I heard a loud sound coming from our neighbour’s house. “The battery unit and wires found in our house came from my children’s broken toys. My husband wanted to repair them.”Yah said she believed that her husband and the other men had been slandered by villagers, who felt uneasy with their presence.
