Kuwait condemns bomb attack on former Maldives president

— Kuwait on Saturday expressed its condemnation over an explosion last week in the Maldives capital Male, which left the archipelago’s former president Mohamed Nasheed critically wounded.

Kuwait stands in solidarity with the Maldives and supports the island nation’s efforts to protect national security, said a foreign ministry statement, emphasizing its objection to all forms of violence.

Nasheed, the current speaker of parliament, underwent life-saving surgery after he was hit by shrapnel from a bomb blast outside his home in what is being treated as a terror attack.
