FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“The suicide bomber, wearing shorts and carrying a backpack, looked like
any other tourist. He put his bag in the luggage compartment of the bus that
blew up,” the minister told a news conference.
“His travel document was a fake driving licence from the (US) state of
Michigan.”
No group immediately claimed responsibility but Israel was quick to blame Iran
and the Hezbollah.
Israel’s Defence Minister said that his nation is confronting a “global
wave of terror” sponsored by Iran.
“We are facing a global wave of terror… the attack in Burgas was led by
members of Hezbollah and sponsored by Iran,” Ehud Barak told Israeli
public radio on Thursday morning.
“The Al-Qaeda and Islamic Jihad networks also operate globally,” he
added, citing a long list of recent attacks or attempted attacks on Israelis
around the world.
His comments came a day after Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister,
accused Tehran of being behind the attack near the popular Black Sea resort
of Sunny Beach and warned of retaliatory measures targeting Iran.
“All the signs lead to Iran. Israel will respond forcefully to Iranian
terror,” he said.
Three buses caught fire after an explosion at around 5.30pm local time ripped
through a coach carrying 44 Israeli tourists, including many teenagers, who
had just landed on a flight from Tel Aviv. Over 30 people were also injured
in the attack.
The blast was confirmed as a terrorist attack linked to the 18th anniversary
of Iran’s bombing of a Jewish community centre in the Argentine capital
Buenos Aires that killed 85 people
“Eighteen years exactly after the blast at the Jewish community centre in
Argentina, murderous Iranian terror continues to hit innocent people,”
said Mr Netanyahu.
“This is an Iranian terror attack that is spreading throughout the entire
world. Israel will react powerfully against Iranian terror.”
“Only in the past few months we have seen Iranian attempts to attack
Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and other places,”
Survivors spoke of the terrifying attack. Tsviti Isaac, who was sitting at the
front of the bus, survived the explosion with facial injuries but it is
thought that his pregnant wife was killed.
“The blow came from below and the side as if a row of seats fell on me.
Somehow I left the bus, but then went back for my wife,” he said.
“I am still looking for my wife I do not know if she dead or alive. But I
think she is not alive.”
Gal Malka, who also survived the explosion, told Israeli Army Radio: “We
sat down and within a few seconds we heard a huge boom and we ran away. We
managed to escape through a hole on the bus. We saw bodies and many people
injured. The whole bus went up in flames.”
Dimitar Nikolov, the mayor of Burgas told the bTV television channel that the
attack was caused by “a very strong explosive that was deliberately
placed or brought into the baggage compartment of the bus”.
The US condemned the attack, with President Barack Obama stating his “thoughts
and prayers” were with the victims.
Israelis have been targeted in attacks outside their country, notably in
Delhi, India and Bangkok, Thailand, in February.
Israel suspects Iran of being behind these attacks, which have further added
to tensions between the two countries already exacerbated by Israeli
warnings against Iran’s alleged pursuit of a nuclear weapons programme.
The deadly explosion comes after a foiled bomb attack in January targeting a
bus chartered to take Israeli tourists from the Turkish border to a
Bulgarian ski resort earlier this year.
Following an Israeli request, Bulgarian troops were deployed in several ski
resorts frequented by Israeli tourists after the bomb was found.
The foiled attack was thought to be linked to Hezbollah, the Lebanon based
Shia Islamist terror group that receives financial and political support
from Iran and Syria.
Israeli officials have pointed to the timing of the Bulgarian attack on the
anniversary of the 18 July 1994 bombing of the Asociacion Mutual Israelita
Argentina (AMIA; Argentine Israelite Mutual Association) building in Buenos
Aires.
Iran was blamed for that attack and Argentina has issued arrest warrants for
several Iranian nationals including General Ahmad Vahidi, the country’s
defence minister and former commander of the Revolutionary Guards.
Bulgaria has insisted the latest attack came without intelligence warnings.
