Malaysian court allows deportation of Iranian bombing suspect

Kuala Lumpur - A Malaysian court on Monday allowed the deportation of an Iranian national suspected of being involved in bombings in Bangkok in February that injured several people.

 

Malaysian Sessions Court Judge S Komathy said there was enough evidence that Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, 31, was a criminal fugitive who should be handed into the custody of Thai authorities.
 
She said the suspect would remain in jail until the minister of home affairs orders his deportation.
 
Sedaghatzadeh said he would appeal the court's decision.//DPA
