The relative peace of the Maldivian capital Male’ was shattered when a small bomb was detonated inside the Sultan Park this afternoon. Twelve tourists were seriously injured in the explosion.
Immediately following the incident the Police and members of the Maldives National Defence Force cordoned off the area and began their investigation. Although it wasn’t immediately clear what had caused the explosion, people who were at the area during the incident said that they had heard ‘a phone ring right before the loud explosion was heard’.
The wounded tourists had immediately been taken to the Indhira Gandhi Memorial Hospital and ADK Hospital. When Haveeru reporters went to ADK they found three burn victims, all of them tourists, being treated for their burns. One had suffered severe burns below the waist. The other two had suffered various burns all over their body. The others who were injured were a Chinese woman, a Japanese couple and two European tourists.
More deatils from Haveeru can be found here.
A number of bloggers are also expressing their concerns over the incident. Here are some of them.

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
This letter is from Kudahuthube’ from Dhan’gethi. We have bought a computer for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your notice. After connecting to internet we planned to open e-mail account and whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only ***** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware vendor Dash Computers and they said that there is no problem with keyboard.
Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is.
There is a button ’start’ but there is no stop button. Why you have START button after computer is started anyway? You should put a STOP button. We request you to check this also.
We find there is ‘Run’ in the menu. After clicking run it shows box asking where to run. We entered Hulhumale’, because we have relatives there who can catch computer until we come. But the computer replied ‘Not found’!
I think you must update it with map of Maldives. Otherwise this RUN command is no use.
One doubt is there any ‘re-scooter’ available in system? As I find only ‘re-cycle’, but I own a scooter at my home, so I cannot use the re-cycle function.
Also there is ‘Find’ button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ‘find’, but unable to trace. Is it a bug??
Also I think the computer is very lazy. If nobody plays with it for five minutes, screen goes blank and shows small windows logo floating on black screen. Dash Computers (the vendor) said don’t touch anything, and to restart and see. It worked, but every time screen goes blank I have to switch the power on and off, which is taking long time to start. Computer also forgets what it was doing before it went blank. I think this is a serious backward step for your product. Please make computers more smarter and active in future.
Thanks,
kudahuthube’
Dhan’gethi
