(Times of Malta) A man who was arrested by the police on suspicion of involvement in terrorist activities has been charged in court with trying to help someone enter Malta illegally.
Magistrate Noel Bartolo heard police inspector Zachary Zammit explain how Syrian national Bashar Mohamad, 29, of Qormi, was arrested at the end of last month after the police received a tipoff about his potential involvement in terrorism.
The tip-off initially did not yield results and the man was released on police bail while the investigations continued.
The inspector said Mohamad was then found in possession of two Maltese passports which he was planning to use when flying out of Malta to Germany. Only one of them was his and the other belonged to a relative.
