A Maldives police officer in Hibalhidhoo, Maldives, October 31, 2015 displays a weapon found on the sea bed off an island in the Baa Atoll during investigations into a September 28 blast on a speedboat transporting Maldives President Abdulla Yameen. Maldives police arrested seven people after an investigation into a boat explosion that targeted Yameen led to the discovery of weapons hidden on the sea bed, officials said on Saturday. Ali Ihusaan, a Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) official said the investigation into the September 28 boat blast had led to the discovery of the weapons, some of which could be used to make improvised explosive devices (IEDs). MNDF did not explicitly link the weapons to the September 28 blast. REUTERS/Waheed Mohamed
