Several Suspects in Custody in Plot to Assassinate Madagascar's President

VOA News

   Authorities in Madagascar have arrested several people they believe
   were part of a plot to kill President Andry Rajoelina.

   The attorney general's office issued a statement Thursday saying the
   suspects were part of a conspiracy to undermine the island nation's
   security, including "the elimination and neutralization" of a number of
   people.

   The suspects include both foreign nationals and Madagascar-born
   citizens.

   The statement said the investigation is still ongoing.

   Some information for this report came from the Associated Press and
   AFP.
