MALE, Muharram 11, 1437, Oct 24, 2015, SPA -- Maldives Vice President Ahmed Adheeb was arrested on Saturday in a probe over a speedboat explosion targeting President Abdulla Yameen, Reuters quoted a police official as saying. Yameen was unhurt in the Sept. 28 blast in his presidential boat Finifenmaa while he was returning from 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". --SPA 11:14 LOCAL TIME 08:14 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
