Police on Saturday confirmed that two arrests were made in relation to the terror attack on May 6.

Soon after the announcement, Police urged, also via Twitter not to share any materials related to the attack on social media.

Additionally, they cautioned the public against speculation and spreading false information that may hinder the investigation or cause distress to victims.

During a press conference held at Iskandhar Building, the Police Commissioner stated that they are working to identify the suspects and urged the public to share any information they may have related to the case. He requested any photographs, videos or other tips to be sent to 9704000, and assured anonymity for those who sent information.
