MALE (Reuters) -The speaker of parliament in Maldives, former President Mohamed Nasheed, was being treated for shrapnel wounds and in stable condition after a blast outside his family home on Thursday, a spokesman for his governing Maldivian Democratic Party said.
Two close family members, who asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the situation, told Reuters Nasheed was talking and responsive before being treated under anaesthesia at the hospital.
Former Maldives president survives bomb attack
Mohamed Nasheed, the island nation s first democratically elected president and now its parliamentary speaker, was targeted as he got into his car. Doctors say his injuries are not life threatening.
The Maldives are known for luxury tourism but also have a reputation for political turmoil and attracting Islamic terrorists
Mohamed Nasheed, the 53-year-old former president of the Indian Ocean island nation of Maldives, narrowly escaped what is suspected to have been an assassination attempt in the capital, Male, on Thursday evening.
Nasheed was injured by a bomb rigged to a motorcycle as he was getting into his car. A Maldives government statement said: Nasheed escaped an assassination attempt. He is injured but his condition is stable. He is currently being treated at ADK Hospital in Male.
The Maldives’ top court has cancelled the 13-year prison sentence of former President Mohamed Nasheed following a review of his controversial conviction on terrorism charges.
Nasheed, who recently returned home after years in self-exile, was elected president in 2008, becoming the island nation’s first democratically chosen leader.
But he was toppled in what he called a coup in 2012, and found guilty of “terrorism” three years later over the arrest of a top judge during his tenure.
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that 51-year-old was wrongfully charged and the criminal court should not have proceeded to trial.
Nasheed welcomed the news in a post on Twitter, expressing his “deepest gratitude to the people of the Maldives”.
