A group of private military contractors travelling to Libya were intercepted by the police last Saturday, MaltaToday has confirmed. Sources told this newspaper that the police had acted on a tip-off about the group, whom they intercepted before they boarded their flight. The group were later released from arrest, and no charges were filed against them. The group is understood to have already left Malta. The mercenaries were, however, forbidden from using Maltese airspace to travel to Libya.
