06 May 2021

Former Maldives President and current parliament speaker Mohamed Nasheed was injured in a blast outside his family home on Thursday (6), Police said in a statement. “Following an explosion … Speaker of Parliament President Mohamed Nasheed has sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment at ADK Hospital,” the statement said on Thursday. There were no details of the injuries suffered by Nasheed. At least one of his bodyguards was also taken to hospital. Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid strongly condemned the attack. In a statement on Twitter he said: “Cowardly attacks like these have no place in our society. My thoughts and prayers are with President Nasheed and others injured in this attack, as well as their families.” The explosion went off on Thursday as Nasheed, 53, was getting into his car in the capital Male, an official from his Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), told AFP news agency by telephone. “It looks like some sort of an improvised explosive device, possibly rigged up to a parked motorcycle,” the official said adding that an investigation was underway.
