# Seven More Arrested as Court Hears Details of Alleged Extremist Bomb Plot

## In brief

- Seven additional suspects have been arrested in connection with an alleged ISIS-inspired terrorist plot.
- A police inspector testified that the accused researched extremist preachers online.
- Investigators seized notebooks outlining instructions on how to construct bombs and explosives.

Seven additional individuals have been arrested in connection with an alleged ISIS-inspired terrorist plot, a court heard on Tuesday.

Police Inspector Zachary Zammit revealed the new arrests while testifying during the ongoing compilation of evidence against a man facing terrorism charges.

According to evidence presented in court, the accused actively sought out and followed extremist preachers on the internet.

Investigators also detailed the discovery of handwritten notebooks belonging to the defendant, which contained instructions on how to manufacture explosives and construct bombs.

The compilation of evidence serves as the preliminary court phase where prosecutors present their findings before a magistrate to determine whether the accused should stand trial.

Police investigations into the broader network remain ongoing following the detention of the seven additional individuals.
