Maldives police said they are on the lookout for further suspects involved in the blast. Maldives parliamentary Speaker and former president Mohamed Nasheed, who survived an assassination attempt on May 6, is off life support and conscious, his family said on Saturday, while police arrested two persons in connection with the explosion. Meanwhile, Mr. Nasheed’s condition showed improvement, according to family members. He is out of life support and breathing on his own. Mr. Nasheed remained in a critical condition on Friday following complex, “life-saving” surgeries, hospital authorities had earlier said.
