The AFM's P-61 patrol boat has returned to Malta following an operation in Tripoli where army explosives experts ensured that the Maltese Embassy and Consulate are safe.

The ordnance clearance personnel travelled to Libya on board the P-61 on Wednesday.

P-61 departed Tripoli at 4.30 p.m. yesterday with the Maltese contingent and a wounded Libyan, who will be receiving treatment in Malta, on board.

The man had been fighting on the frontline at Bani Walid when he was shot and his wound is not closing properly.

Yesterday, Shweyga Mullah, the Ethiopian nanny who was employed with Gaddafi's son Hannibal and who was scalded with boiling water by his wife Alina some four months ago, also arrived in Malta on a Medavia flight sponsored by the government.

She will be treated for severe burns.
