Malaysian police is working with its Thai counterparts to hunt down three more suspects in connection with Thailand's deadliest bomb attack at a temple last month that claimed 20 lives, including 11 foreigners.
Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Thai authorities have visited the country twice to discuss about the case and have provided the names of three suspects to Malaysian police's Counter-Terrorism Division.
"During the discussions, we came to an agreement that thorough investigations had been conducted against all suspects that were detained by the Malaysian police.
"However, there are three more names that were given by the Thai authorities, and we are going all out to hunt for these suspects," he said.
Zahid said the Malaysian authorities had requested for the suspects' biometrics and DNA profiles, which would make it easier to identify the suspects and make arrests in the August 17 bomb blast in a hugely popular Lord Brahma temple in Bangkok.
However, he declined to reveal the suspects' nationalities and background as police are still investigating.
The explosion left 20 people dead including 11 foreigners and more than 100 others were injured.
