VALLETTA - A small tanker that was hijacked by migrants off Libya docked in Malta’s port of Valletta on Thursday after Maltese special forces took control of the vessel, Reuters witnesses said.
Malta’s armed forces said on Thursday that a special operations team backed by fast interceptors craft and a helicopter had taken control of the ship and that it was headed for Valletta. “Malta’s military intervention is good. What happened is proof that immigration is managed by criminals and must be blocked by any legal means necessary,” Salvini said in a statement.
