Home Minister Imran Abdulla has appealed everyone to refrain from spreading false and unverified reports regarding the devastating terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka.

In a tweet sent out on Monday, the Minister requested everyone to refrain from spreading false information that may compromise the national security of the Maldives. He added that everyone should steer clear from such things and not to get involved in the spread of such fake stories.

Neighbouring Sri Lanka was rattled with eight bomb blasts on Sunday, which has taken about 300 lives in its wake leaving another 500 or so injured.
