Israel Blames Iran For Deadly Bus Attack in Bulgaria

A follow-up to my earlier report, "Israelis Targeted in Tour Bus Attack in Bulgaria."

See Pamela, "Jewish Women and Children Targeted in Today's Islamic Attack in Bulgaria," and "U.N. Chief Refuses to Call Islamic Slaughter of Jewish Women and Children in Bulgaria Attack "Terrorism"; Rights Commissioner Pillay Won't Say Anything on Israeli Victims." Also at Jawa Report, "Bulgaria: Possible 3 7 Dead Suicide in Bombing on Israeli Tour Bus" (via Memeorandum).

Plus, at Telegraph UK, "Iran blamed after seven killed in bomb attack on Israeli bus in Bulgaria." And at the Wall Street Journal, "Israel Says Iran Behind Deadly Blast in Europe":


Israel accused Iran of orchestrating the bombing of a bus packed with Israeli tourists in a Bulgarian resort town Wednesday that killed at least six people and injured 30 others, adding to tensions across the Middle East.

Fire engulfed the bus and nearby vehicles in an airport parking lot in Burgas, on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, sending up plumes of dark smoke. Israel's foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said his Bulgarian counterpart told him a bomb was planted on the bus.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised retaliation.

"This is an Iranian terror attack that is spreading throughout the entire world," he said. "Israel will respond with force."
