“The head of state was victim of an attack in Salimani-Itsandra,” an area on the outskirts of the capital Moroni, government spokeswoman Fatima Ahamadael told AFP. “Thank God, his life is not in danger.”
She declined to give further details but a source close to the president said: “President Azali Assoumani was slightly injured by a knife while attending a funeral.”
