Known to be a "bomb expert", police investigators believe Peter Cassar and his murder are linked to a number of bomb attacks in recent years.
Cassar, better known as Pietru l-Haqqa, manufactured most of the explosive devices used in a spate of bomb attacks over the last 40 years.
Cassar was murdered in Zejtun on Wednesday, after being shot to his neck and to his chest while in his garage in Triq Santa Marija.
Sources told MaltaToday that Cassar's murder is linked to a number of bomb attacks in recent years, such as the attack on the Transport Malta offices in Pieta and the attempted murders of known criminals Keith Galea and Paul Degabriele, known as is-Suldat.
Galea's car was blown up a few days after he was released from prison, having served time for attempted murder. In Degabriele's case (murdered last year), the bomb had been safely defused.
Cassar was a well-known explosives specialist, also thought to have manufactured a number of bombs at the height of the political violence in the 70s and 80s.

Alla ibierek il-Pulizija kienu jafu b'dan kollu u qatt ma qabduh? U is-servizzi hekk imsejha sigrieti x'kienu jaghmlu, jghassu fuq min qed ibiegh il-condoms?

Maybe there was someone who felt threatened and was afraid that things were getting very hot and feared that Mr. Cassar might disclose important information on who commissioned the bombs during those days, which can expose the person/s behind those bombs.

One less the better.

Maybe the police were to scared (and appropriately so) of this guy knowing that he could potentially have them killed.

This guy got justice at last. I suspect the police did not work hard enough to nail this guy down. Police incompetence? Well I leave it for the readers to decide.
