Spread over 40,000 square metres, the new US Embassy in Ta’ Qali is “a normal diplomatic compound” that will be conducting “normal diplomatic business”, according to the Chargé d’Affaires currently running the show.
“There are no missile silos underneath the embassy,” Richard Mills said jokingly when asked about talk that the huge building could serve as a CIA listening post or a military operations centre in the Mediterranean.
The embassy was officially inaugurated last night by President George Abela and Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi during a flag-raising ceremony.
