Maldivian Vice President Ahmed Adeeb has been arrested on Saturday over an alleged plot to assassinate President Abdulla
Yameen, whose boat was hit by a bomb last month, according to the home minister. Yameen escaped unhurt.
"VP Adheeb under arrest and held
in Dhoonidhoo Detention (prison
Island)," Umar Naseer said on
Twitter, using a different spelling
of the vice president' s name .
"Charges: high treason. "
Maldivian police confirmed his detention was linked to the investigation into the September 28
blast aboard Yameen ' s speed boat .
Adeeb was appointed by Yameem as his deputy three months ago after the latter impeached his original vice president Mohamed Jameel on charges of treason.
