Maldives vice president Ahmed Adheeb was arrested on
Saturday in a probe over a speedboat explosion targeting President Abdulla
Yameen, a police official told Reuters.

presidential boat Finifenmaa while he was returning from Saudi Arabia after the
haj pilgrimage.
"We have arrested the vice president in
relation to the Finifenmaa incident," a police media official told
Reuters.
"He is now in police custody in Dhoonidhoo
detention centre."Home minister Umar Naseer in his twitter feed said
the charge against the vice president was "high treason".
