Azerbaijan has arrested four people in connection with the attempted assassination of a member of parliament who was shot and wounded last week, an Interior Ministry spokesman said on April 3. Fazil Mustafa, a lawmaker who had been strongly critical of Azerbaijan's neighbor Iran, has been recovering in the hospital after what the state security service described as a terror attack. Mustafa's assistant, Ajdar Aliyev, told Reuters that Mustafa was feeling well and expected to return home, which he said was under police guard, in the coming days. The Interior Ministry spokesman declined to give details of the arrested suspects, saying a statement would be released later. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
