Two ex-terrorists to be sent to Pakistan with aid

Two ex-terrorists who planned Sultan Park bombing in Male in September 2007 are to be sent to flood-stricken Pakistan with aid, the President's Office said today.

President Mohamed Nasheed recently pardoned the two men who set off an IED in Sultan Park injuring foreign tourists. The men who were serving a 15-year sentence are now free and their sentence will be waived off if they do not commit a crime within the next three years. The two men are Mohamed Sobah of Villimale, Landhooge, and Ahmed Naseer of Kanduhulhudhoo, Saadhunaa Manzil.

"Their dream is to reunite with their friends in Pakistan. After pardoning them the least we could do for them is to help them achieve that," said Mohamed Zuhair, the President's Press Secretary.

Several co-conspirators of the bombing fled from Maldives and are now living in Pakistan.

Sheikh Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed, the state minister for Islamic Ministry, said he welcomed this news. He said the donations Adhaalath Party has collected from Maldivians will also be sent to Pakistan with the two men. Shaheem did not say if he had rehabilitated the two ex-terrorists like he rehabilitated the prisoners from Guantanamo Bay.

Asked if there was any risk of the two men committing a crime in Pakistan, Zuhair said he felt there was no threat. "I am no bomb disposal expert. But there is 99% probability that a bomb will not explode in flood waters," Zuhair said.

MNBC will bid to acquire BBC in November this year and MNBC will bid to buy Al-Jazeera next year said Khaleel.

Only one person can save Maldives now

Maldives is now in legal vacuum. The transition period in constitution over now. There is no Supreme Court. But Prosecutor General say the Supreme Court can continue as transitional court till new Supreme Court formed. But President form temporary committee for Supreme Court and MNDF confiscate key of Supreme Court. So now only Special Enjoy Zaki and Special Advisor Afeef can enter the Supreme Court building. The People's Majlis is not having any sessions. The Attorney General Husnu Suood resign. Now the Prosecutor General is in charge. Prosecutor General say Human Rights Commission, Civil Service Commission, Supreme Court can all stay. This is big legal void and only one person in Maldives has legal experience to solve this. He is the most sincere and capable politician Maldives has seen. He is Dr Mohamed Munavvar. One month ago Dr Munavvar forecast this would happen. He told President Nasheed to resign because Nasheed can't do the only one thing he promised the people. Dr Munavvar is former Attorney General and former President of MDP. He is very experienced and he loves the Maldives. Lets give him the chance to save Maldives.
