A well-known blogger in Malta who accused the government of the country of corruption has been killed in a planned car bomb attack, according to Police report.

The Malta blogger, Daphne Caruana Galizia, died after the car she was driving exploded shortly after she left her apartment in Bidnija, near Mosta.

The explosion got the attention of people around including one of her sons who rushed outside to see debris of the rental car his mother was driver all over the road.

The attack has been condemned by the island town Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, whom Galizia strongly accused earlier this year of mismanagement and corrupt practices.

"I condemn without reservations this barbaric attack on a person and on the freedom of expression in our country," he said in a televised statement.

The PM stressed that though the blogger has been one of his strongest antagonist and also for some other powerful people but that doesn't warrant the killing of the blogger and he wouldn't rest until justice is done.

It was reported by Malta Television that the deceased blogger had filed a complaint to the Police of threat to her life two weeks before the attack that led to her death.

The highly audacious bloger had linked the Prime Minister and his wife to the Panama Paper Scandal but the couple denied claims that they had used secret offshore bank account to hide payments from Azerbaijan's ruling family.

Caruana Galizia's had also targeted opposition politicians in her blog calling the country's political situation "desperate" in her final post.

According to some country's officials Malta has asked for international help - including the FBI in the US - to find the perpetrator.

Malta? So I thought Malta is safe. Mehn government can do anything to silence a voice.

Car bomb? Meaning that soon the CInC can also send his Fulani herdsmen with your picture for full and complete eradication of his southern distractors that wouldn't allow him to deliver the dividends of democracy to the northern people of Nigeria

Don't worry madam, your is even better that you're in Malta. If you were in Naija, the government will openly sends python to dance on you if you advise them.
Ask Nnamdi Kanu if you happen to meet him there.
