4th suspect arrested in Maldives bombing targeting ex-leader
MALE, Maldives (AP) — Maldives police have arrested the fourth and final suspect who was being sought for the bombing that severely wounded the country’s former president earlier this month.
Authorities have blamed Islamic extremists for the assassination attempt on Mohamed Nasheed, who is currently the Parliament speaker and has been an outspoken critic of religious extremism in the predominantly Sunni Muslim nation.
Police said on Twitter the 23-year-old man who had been at large since the May 6 bombing was arrested Wednesday night.
