dc.description.abstractOn December 28, 1977, Karen Grech, the teenage daughter of Professor Edwin Grech, was murdered by the explosion of a letter-bomb addressed to her father. Despite the lapse of time and the change in government, no one has yet been charged with the infamous crime. The repercussions - human, political and social - of that letter-bomb were far reaching. Tensions between the parties, already red-hot, increased. Fear, suspicion and murder added new dimensions to the local political scene; that dark menace has not been completely defused yet. The postal authorities were quick to react to the outrage. Lethal letter-bombs, previously unheard of in Malta, had overnight become a sad reality. Something had to be done, and fast. [excerpt]en_GB
