MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Maldives police said on Saturday that they had arrested two individuals as part of a probe into the attack on parliament speaker and former president Mohamed Nasheed.
The 53-year-old politician was injured in a bomb blast in the capital of Male on Thursday and is currently receiving treatment at a hospital. The incident reportedly occurred near Nasheed's home and injured two other people — his bodyguard and a bystander, who was identified as a foreign citizen. Police qualified the incident as a terrorist attack specifically targeting Nasheed.
