Bulgaria says perpetrator of 2012 Burgas attack was Lebanese

A local media in Bulgaria said on Sunday that 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.

Israel and Bulgaria have already accused Hezbollah of being behind the attack at Burgas airport on the Black Sea.

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

On Tuesday February 5th 2013, the Bulgarian authorities said that two individuals with links to Hezbollah were involved in a bomb attack on a bus in the Bulgarian resort of Burgas that killed five Israeli tourists, their Bulgarian driver and the bomber on July 2012.

Both Hezbollah and Tehran denied responsibility and accused Israel of plotting and carrying out the blast.
