Maldives' former president and current Parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed has been injured in a blast Thursday near his home and was being treated in a hospital in the capital, police said.
Gayoom was sentenced to 19 months imprisonment in June after failing to hand over his mobile phone to investigators. He had been arrested in February on charges of plotting to overthrow the government.
China earlier had opposed any military intervention in the Maldives, saying such a move would further complicate the situation, a day after Nasheed sought India's help to resolve the political crisis in the island nation.
