Seven people have been arrested following a bomb attack in the Maldives on Saturday. The bomb exploded in a park in the capital Male and injured 12 tourists, including a British couple believed to have been on their honeymoon. The other tourists were from Japan and China.
The British victims have been named as Christian Donelan, 36, from Rotherham, and his wife Jennifer, whose maiden name is Green, who both now live in Qatar. According to local police, they were the most seriously injured but all victims are now in a stable condition. All those arrested were Maldives nationals and, according to reports, some were caught trying to flee the country.
It is the first time a bomb has hit the Maldives and neither the motive or target are yet known.
