According to Bulgarian press Sega.bg, and confirmed by other wire sources, a bus with 40 Israeli tourists was "blown up" at 5:30 pm local time at the local airport of the seaside town of Bourgas. Sega says that according to BTV "it is an assassination attempt." The bomb was located in the trunk of a white bus with Israel tourists from Israel who were en route to the seaside town of Sunny Beach according to an airport source. The mayor of the city, Dimitar Nikolov confirmed the news according to Sega. Furthermore, according to the airport's website, an Air Via flight from Tel Aviv landed at 4:50 pm local time. The shock wave was so large it also exploded two neighboringing buses located in the arrival area of the airport. The number of casualties is currently unknown, but at least three people are dead according to the local police, with dozens wounded. Sega adds "the flames are huge with three firetrucks on the scene and seven ambulances driving out charred people."

Huh?

Mossad needs to extract a VERY high price for this outrage.

In a perfect world, the US would provide all possible assistance.

What is so special about Bulgaria that would attract Israeli tourists? 10% of the Bulgarian citizens are Muzzies.

Will HusseinCo apologize for HillaryCo’s “incendiary” Jerusalem comments?

Huh?

I think they mean the other two buses rigged to explode.

[Lazamataz]

Long past time for us to be doing the exact same to them. Skip the army and airforce, just go in and do it one-by-one, ourselves, just like they do.

[Pecos]

Since a bus's luggage area is below the seats, and explosions seek the weakest path first, the other two buses may have been destroyed by the sideways release of the explosive force.

The author of article quotes act as an “attempt” when its known 3 people are dead. Then goes on the report that 3 people are confirmed dead and 7 ambulances left with charred bodies. 7 charred bodies and 3 only dead.

The muzzie plan is to kill Jews where they think they are safe. No doubt, this muzzie thought of the same thing you did, the Israelis thought they were safe.

Islam the scourge of the civilized world.

A death cult of religious lunatics and savages, and the west coddles them and pretends they are something else.

Are the TV propaganda news shows covering this today, or ignoring it ?

[Rummyfan]

The Bulgarian Black Sea coast is supposedly very beautiful and very inexpensive. And I wouldn’t be surprised by Israelis also having old family ties to Bulgaria.
