NICOSIA (Reuters) -Police in Cyprus have arrested an individual on suspicion of terror-related offences and espionage, authorities said on Saturday.
The individual appeared before a district court on Saturday, which ordered an eight-day detention pending inquiries. No further details would be issued, police said, citing national security.
Cyprus lies very close to the Middle East and has in recent days been used as a transit point for people either leaving or going to the region amid a conflict between regional foes Israel and Iran. Terror-related offences on the island are very rare.
