KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Malaysian police say one person died and 13 others injured when a hand grenade blew up om Thursday outside a night club at a popular tourist belt in the country’s largest city Kuala Lumpur.
A senior police official, who declined to be named as he isn’t authorized to speak to the media, says the pre-dawn explosion in the Bukit Bintang area was believed to be due to gang fight and was “not a terrorism act.”
He says police also found a second hand grenade under a car after it failed to explode.
Another police official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said on Thursday that a Malaysian succumbed to his injuries and died, while 13 others including foreigners from Thailand, China and Singapore were hospitalized.

YANGON, Burma (AP) — The Thai pilot of a helicopter that went missing in a mountainous part of Burma almost two weeks ago has been found and taken to hospital.
The pilot — identified by Thai media as Chatchawal Thanthong — arrived in Yangon late Wednesday. He’d been flown from northern Kachin state after a search party discovered him earlier in the day.
His helicopter disappeared Sept 27 as it was delivering supplies to rescuers looking for lost climbers on one of Burma’s tallest mountains. Two other men were on board, both from Burma.
Hope was fading for the crew when one of the men walked into a small town Tuesday. He said his crewmates were still alive, prompting the search that found the Thai pilot. The other crew member is still missing.
