The Security Services Committee (241 Committee) of the Parliament has decided to re-examine the assassination attempt on former President and former Speaker of Parliament Mohamed Nasheed.

In today's meeting, the committee unanimously decided to bring the matter to the attention of the government.

Speaking at the committee meeting, Deputy Speaker of the Parliament and Dhiggaru Constituency Member Ahmed Nazim said the biggest problem with the attack was the lack of coordination. 

Nazim also said that the National Counter Terrorism Center has not yet been able to investigate intelligence matters related to the attack.

When asked about the progress of the parliament's efforts to share the issue with the government, committee chairman and Eydhafushi MP Ahmed Saleem said parliament had written a letter to bring the matter to the attention of the government and would submit it  today.
