Police believe that the bomb that killed a prominent journalist in Malta as attached beneath her car and triggered remotely with a mobile phone, a government spokeswoman has said
Daphne Caruana Galizia, a renowned blogger and fierce critic of the government, died on Monday in a blast that wrecked her car as she was leaving her house in Mosta, throwing debris and body parts into a nearby field.
'Emerging evidences make us think that the bomb was placed under the car and was set off with a remote trigger,' a government spokeswoman said on Thursday, adding that foreign experts would be called on to help identify the mobile phone which was used to detonate the bomb.
The murder shocked the Mediterranean island, the smallest nation in the European Union, and Prime Minister Joseph Muscat on Wednesday promised a reward to anyone who came forward with information about the killing.
However, Caruana Galizia's three adult sons dismissed the offer, and called instead for Muscat to resign, saying he should take political responsibility for the first such murder of a journalist in Malta since the island won independence in 1964.

I'm not sure they will actually get justice.
