State Minister for Tourism Accuses MDP of Plot to Target Resorts

State Minister for Tourism Mohamed Nihad alleged at a ruling PNC rally that the MDP was planning a terrorist attack on three international-brand resorts near Malé as part of a campaign to disrupt the government's two-million-tourist target. The MDP and the Labour Union rejected the allegations, and the article notes the government has provided no supporting evidence.
