Terrorism in Malta seen as 'low risk' by UK Foreign Office

Britain's Foreign Office has warned Britons that there is a high terrorism risk in European countries, but Malta, Iceland and Slovenia were singled out as having a low threat.

The notice was given prominence on the UK media, in what will be seen locally as a valuable tourism advertisement in Malta's biggest source market. 

The Daily Mail quoted a spokesman for the Association of British Agents to keep up to date with the latest advice from the Foreign Office before visiting their intended vacation spot. 

'Just as in the UK where the terrorism threat level is severe, travellers should remain alert wherever they are travelling. Bookings for this summer are healthy with year-on-year increases for many holiday destinations throughout the world.'Currently, Iceland, Malta and Slovenia are some of the European beauty spots, ripe with tourism that are still considered low risk," according to the latest advice from the Foreign Office.
