The Maldives president, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, survived an assassination attempt Tuesday when a boy scout grabbed the knife of an attacker who jumped out of a crowd of people greeting the president, a government spokesman said.
"This fellow in the crowd with a knife in his hand attempted to stab the president in his stomach," Mohammad Shareef told The Associated Press by telephone. "But a 15-year-old boy came in the way and grabbed the knife. One brave boy saved the president's life."
He said Gayoom was unhurt but that there was a small cut on his shirt as the attacker, during a struggle with the boy, tried to take a second attempt. The attacker was overpowered by security men as well.
