Malaysian law authorities applied Thursday for a court order to extradite to Thailand an Iranian man called Masoud Sedaghatzadeh who is suspected of involvement in bomb plot against Israeli diplomats in Bangkok, Thailand last month.

Masoud Sedaghatzadeh was arrested in Kuala Lumpur on February 15, a day after an apparently unintended blast at a Bangkok house occupied by three Iranian suspects. He arrived in Malaysia the night before on a flight from Thailand.

Masoud Sedaghatzadeh had denied involvement in the botched Bangkok bomb case as he appeared before the court for the extradition application.

Malaysia was acting on a Thai extradition request, said Kamal Baharin Omar, head of extraditions with the attorney-general's office.

The Malaysian government has asked for a month delay until the next hearing, saying it was awaiting further evidence from Thailand. The next hearing was set for April 16, according to Masoud Sedaghatzadeh's lawyer Mohamad Nashir Hussin.

The Lawyer said the application was invalid as there was no extradition treaty between Malaysia and Thailand.
