Speaker Nasheed to return to Maldives today

Parliament Speaker, former President Mohamed Nasheed, who was travelled overseas to treat injuries he sustained in an assassination attempt in May, is set to return to Maldives on Monday after months away. 
The assassination attempt on Nasheed involved a homemade remote-controlled IED which was strapped to motorcycle parked nearby Nasheed’s residence in Male’ City, and was detonated at 08:27 pm on May 6, just as Nasheed, 54, exited his residence and went to get in his car. Nasheed was thrown to the ground and sustained multiple shrapnel wounds, while three members of his security detail and two bystanders sustained minor wounds.    
He was rushed to ADK Hospital, where he underwent multiple lifesaving surgeries to remove ball bearings and other shrapnel, some of which perforated his internal organs. 
He was airlifted to a military hospital in Germany on May 13, and travelled to the United Kingdom on July 21. 
He is currently in United Arab Emirates to attend the Dubai Expo. Sun has been informed Nasheed is scheduled to travel from Dubai to Male’ City on Monday afternoon.
