KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Malaysia's former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad was attacked with pepper spray Friday in what he claimed was an attempt to silence his criticism of the government.
Mahathir, 81, had just arrived at the airport in Kota Bahru, the capital of Kelantan state, surrounded by cheering supporters, when an unidentified assailant fired pepper spray at him.
An unruffled Mahathir spoke to reporters at his hotel later.
