I remember back in 1993 when Malta released the EgyptAir hijacker Ali Resaq (do a google for EgyptAir Flight 648). He was supposed to have a 25 year jail sentence, but released after just 8; this was due to Malta not having any anti-terror rules and a system of reducing tariff by Presidential Pardon most prisoners get whenever a new President of Malta is elected. Anyway, Rezaq was released in 1993, the Americans were very angry indeed, and when Rezaq made it to Nigeria, they got him, and now he's safely jailed in America for life.
You think we're barmy in the UK for letting off a mass murderer like the Lockerbie bomber; seems other countries are even barmier.
