Puppet Masters
Three Israelis were killed and many injured when a suicide bomber blew up an Israeli tourist bus at the airport of the Bulgarian city of Burgas on Wednesday, the 18th anniversary of the Iran-sponsored attack on the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The bus was carrying Israeli tourists who landed in Bulgaria at a 4:45 p.m.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman spoke with his Bulgarian counterpart Nikolay Mladenov in relation to the explosion.
Mladenov is heading to the site of the blast and said that he will bring Liberman up to date when he arrives.
Liberman called for an immediate meeting at the Foreign Ministry's situation room to discuss the issue with the relevant bodies.
The Israeli embassy in Bulgaria is also investigating the explosion.
ZAKA and MDA rescue services in Israel were preparing delegations to fly to Bulgaria.
In January, a suspicious package found on a bus carrying Israeli tourists from Turkey to Bulgaria led Israel to request boosted security for its citizens traveling in the country, according to reports in the Bulgarian press.
The Sofia News Agency Novinite quoted Dan Shenar, head of security at the Israeli Transportation Ministry, confirmed he had requested the increased security at the time.
Israel has been concerned Hezbollah would try to attack Israelis overseas in in connection with the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah military commander Imad Mughniyeh, attributed to the Mossad.
Israel had asked Bulgaria, for example, to increase its security over Israeli tour groups in the capital city of Sofia. According to Sofia News Agency, a Hezbollah plot was earlier uncovered by local security agencies, which warned Israel.

What a picture! Some would say that these people in uniforms are doing their jobs. Well, if they allow fake terror attacks to occur, then no, not exactly. In truth, these police forces do not work well at fighting and are good at beating people up when political psychopaths tell them to (so full of psychopaths in the Bulgarian parliament, government, secret services, etc. I can't even count that high up), especially at protests against the previous government.
Second, this whole anniversary business is extremely fishy. Netanyahu's statement that this is necessarily an anniversary attack by Iran because there was another one some time ago, doesn't hold any water, its value is zero imo, especially when that psychopath with an extreme anti-Iran agenda is saying it. Sure, everything is possible, but I do think that this is more of an attempt to make people hate Iran + the tightening of security in Bulgaria. Actually, security sucks when it comes to normal citizens, but schools where many children just happen to be Israeli in Bulgaria, also around the Israeli Home of Culture, etc. is pretty good, you can almost always see a few police cars guarding at certain places.
I do not even want to think of how people from Iran will be treated now in Bulgaria if the PTB successfully hypnotizes people with all that crap.
"The Israeli embassy in Bulgaria is also investigating the explosion." An embassy is doing investigations? And how do they do that? I suppose these guys have the legal right to do that stuff, I have no idea, but just as a side note, I DO THINK that MANY of them are "diplomats" in large quotation marks...The type of diplomats who have '007' written on their foreheads...
Excuse the lengthy post as well as my English. Let's see if there are any developments. But I'm not holding my breath that any truth will be given, especially in a country with SO MUCH CORRUPTION like Bulgaria.
Wonder if Mossad planted the bomb on the bus prior to passenger loading or if they placed the bomb in somebody's bag?
