(Malta Today) Malta’s secret service, the MSS, said that while terrorism prevention is at the top of its agenda, its workload has been characterised by investigations against drug trafficking and illegal migration, as well as cyber-threats to critical infrastructure.
Malta registered a low threat of terrorism in 2022, suggesting the island’s reputation for safety remains intact despite geopolitical tensions in nearby Mediterranean countries.
Malta’s Security Service (MSS) said in its annual report for 2022 that while terror attacks in Malta are possible, evidence concerning capacity or presence of terror cells on the island suggest this was as yet improbable.
