Report: Bulgaria Says 2012 Israeli Bus Bomber in Burgas was Lebanese

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Bulgaria has identified a Lebanese man as the bomber who blew up an airport bus in 2012, killing five Israeli tourists, their Bulgarian driver and himself, local media said Sunday.

Israel and Bulgaria have already accused Hizbullah of being behind the attack at Burgas airport on the Black Sea, the deadliest on Israelis abroad since 2004.

Bulgaria had previously identified as alleged accomplices two Lebanese men with links to Hizbullah -- and with Canadian and Australian passports -- and has made so-far unanswered extradition requests to Lebanon.

Chief prosecutor spokeswoman Rumyana Arnaudova declined to comment on the latest report in the Pressa newspaper, which cited sources in the Bulgarian intelligence services.

"The investigation is ongoing and is very intensive but I cannot confirm any details around the probe as this might jeopardize it," Arnaudova told AFP.

The bomber died in the attack -- although it remains unclear if he intended to die -- and investigators had been unable to identify him despite having DNA from the severed head and limbs found at the site of the bombing.

Chief prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov returned on Friday from a four-day visit to Israel where he met attorney general Yehuda Weinstein and chief prosecutor Shai Nitzan.

the problem with stupid m8 guys on this site: they live in denial.

they deny that they are murderers, bombers, baby killers,...

Hizbullah is a terrorist Iranian militia.

The buzzwords are Zionist and resistance. What planet are you from, please point out the armed militias with 10's of thousands of missiles in the US or any other country? What is complex about the militias arms… they come from Iran and are used as the ayatollah tells them to… you zombis are pathetic.

Boy you are not paranoid you are a raving lunatic… if you are so afraid of finding Israelis under your bed go hide in Nasrallah's bunker and Hizbullah is TERRORIST MILITIA, wether you like it or not.

One occupier is no different then another, your Iranian militia has had 13 years to disarm and they will always have one more excuse for keeping the weapons.

why do they deny that they did it?

Thumb general_puppet 09 March 2014, 21:19

Drama Queen… who has accused the militia of "9-11, eliminated Kennedy and there is some evidence that they even caused the Tsunami in Japan"? They are being accused of performing their jihadist duty… you know blowing up Lebanese who are anti-Assad and committing terrorist activities around the world

Cityboy

"Of course HA did it" is very plausible. They have the names of the suspects & evidence.

"they also did 9-11, eliminated Kennedy and there is some evidence that they even caused the Tsunami in Japan"

I don't know how you got this idea?

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that Hizballah is not behind this bombing. This can only translate to two things:
1- Nassrallah was lying everytime he said "we will retaliate" after
every Israeli attack from Moghnyeh's assassination to the latest air
raid in the Bekaa.
2- Nassrallah was not lying, which itself translate to a very weak
Hizballah that cannot avenge the killing of its leaders and the air
raids on its supply convoys.

Do you mean you condemn this act as an ignominious and terrorist action? Or do you condone it?

Thumb general_puppet 09 March 2014, 17:52

Deny, deny, deny…. false flag, false flag, false flag… spin, spin, spin… The Israelis Did It.

Thumb general_puppet 09 March 2014, 17:58

Yes Southern. nimrod, every time your beloved Iranian terrorist are caught somewhere around the world fulfilling their Jihadist duty… it is all part of the cosmic Zionist conspiracy.

Thumb general_puppet 09 March 2014, 19:05

Southern, you have been spoon fed Iranian/Assad propaganda all of your life. The terrorist militia are jihadist for the Ayatollah, if they are not blowing up M8 leaders and civilians in Lebanon they are blowing up civilians in other country's. And since Nasrallah declared war on behalf of Assad from the safety of his bunker they must be Syrian patriots!

I like your excuse real handy mowaten, can I use it next time a Jihadi decides to take his stolen Kia for some Hassan Nasrallah style "refreshments" in Dahieh?

Why the HA members caught in Boutros Assassination failed attempt were not turned in to the authorities? Why Ali Eid does not turn himself in if he is in fact innocent of the twin bombs in Tripoli? We can only comment on the reaction of the people such as Assir, or the idiot who burned father Sarouj Library but we ignore the root cause and precedence of the armed militia that continues to invite more fanatics and worsen the security in the state.
