Former President and incumbent Speaker of Parliament Mohamed Nasheed has stated that the May 6 assassination attempt was not adequately investigated.
Nasheed made his statement on his alternate Twitter account "anehdhivehirajje". The tweet highlighted several points police have not investigated.
According to Nasheed, police, in their investigation, have not found where funds for the attack originated or discovered how those arrested developed an explosive device with remote destination or the technology used.
The former president claimed that police have not found those aware of the attack before its occurrence, and have not found anyone connected to the attack apart from Abdullah Ali Manik. He claimed that police could have conducted a better investigation and that they seem to have "dropped the catch".
While Nasheed has criticized the investigation, Abbas Faiz, Special Envoy appointed by President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih to monitor the investigation into the attack, has stated that the operation is running smoothly, and praised the police's investigation.
