(Malta Today) The attorney general’s decision to file terrorism charges against a group of seven young people from Syria [has] been described as an over-reaction by sources within the police force.
They told MaltaToday that the youths arrested last week in an anti-terrorism operation posed no imminent threat, and investigations suggest there was no organised terrorist operations going on. “Many people within the force feel the situation was blown out of proportion,” they said.
Seven males of Syrian nationality appeared in court on Sunday, 30 April, to face terrorism-related charges, including teaching others how to use explosives and firearms.
