United States of America have volunteered to assist Maldives in bringing the perpetuators behind the attack on Mohamed Nasheed to justice, on Friday.
Around 2030hrs on Thursday, an attack near the residence of Speaker Nasheed's house injured him and four other people. While the rest were released after treatment that day itself, Nasheed underwent multiple surgeries and was kept in the ICU as his status was critical.
We are saddened and concerned by yesterday’s attack targeting Speaker @MohamedNasheed and wish for his speedy recovery. We join President @ibusolih in condemning this attack and all acts of terror, and stand ready to assist in bringing the perpetrators to justice. #Maldives

"We join President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih in condemning this attack and all acts of terror, and stand ready to assist in bringing the perpetrators to justice," the account had tweeted.
The Maldivian government decided to ask for foreign assistance on investigating this matter. A team from Australian Federal Police will arrive on Saturday.
