Israel stands behind Bulgarian bus bombing
IRAN'S UN envoy has accused Israel of staging a suicide bomb attack on an Israeli tourist bus in Bulgaria, the Adelaide reports.
The envoy Mohammad Khazaee said on Wednesday that Israel staged the attack, in which five Israelis and their Bulgarian driver were killed, as part of a campaign of "state terrorism operations and assassinations aimed at implicating others for narrow political gains".
The comments in a UN Security Council debate on the Middle East outraged Israeli officials, who have accused Iran and their Lebanese militia ally Hezbollah of carrying out the July 18 attack near Burgas airport.
