Former Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed is in 'critical' condition following an assassination bid, say doctors who've performed 16 hours of life-saving operations on the ex-leader for injuries to his head, chest, abdomen and limbs

Mohamed Nasheed, 53, is"in a critical condition in intensive care," doctors say, after he was hit by shrapnel from a bomb blast outside his home.

Nasheed, 53, the Maldives' first democratically elected president and still an important figure in the island nation's murky politics, was rushed to hospital after an explosion late on Thursday. The hospital said earlier that shrapnel had been removed from one of his lungs and from his liver but that another piece was still in the same organ.

Nasheed was getting into his car when the blast occurred. Local media reports suggested that a homemade explosive device was planted on a motorcycle parked near his car.
