A group of masked assailants armed with swords attempted to assassinate President Mohamed Nasheed at last night’s Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) rally at artificial beach, claims MDP parliamentary group leader ‘Reeko’ Moosa Manik.
Addressing supporters at the launch of the ‘people’s court’ today, Moosa said he first saw rocks being thrown into the crowd from the Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) office.
While the attention of the rally-goers was directed towards the office, Moosa continued, he saw a group of masked assailants carrying knives.
‘Last night, I saw with my own eyes a group of people trying to attack your president in the open,’ he said.
