Bomb Kills Panama Papers Reporter, Malta’s Prime Minister Says

VALLETTA, Malta — A Maltese investigative journalist who had exposed her island nation’s links with the so-called Panama Papers document leak was killed Monday when a bomb destroyed her car as she was driving near her home, Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said.

Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53, had just driven away from her home in Mosta, near the capital, Valletta, when the bomb exploded, sending wreckage spiraling over a wall and into a field.
