(BEIRUT Al-Manar) - A deadly blast targeted a bus carrying Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, killing seven people, including five Zionists. In addition to the five Israelis, a Bulgarian driver was killed.

Dozens others were injured in the attack which took place outside an airport in the European country. The bus was carrying around 40 Israelis who had just arrived at Burgas Airport on the Black Sea coast.

Witnesses described a huge explosion followed by a fire which ripped through the bus, adding that the fire then spread to other nearby buses.

They described a scene of carnage, with body parts scattered around the burned out wreckage.

There were conflicting reports that the explosion was caused either by a suicide bomber or by a bomb hidden in the luggage.

"The explosion was caused by a man who died in the attack and whose identity has not yet been established," Bulgarian interior minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said at the airport, adding that the figure of the seven killed included the bomber.

"IRAN, HEZBOLLAH RESPONSIBLE FOR ATTACK"

For his part Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran for the blast, vowing that the Zionist entity would respond.

"All the signs lead to Iran. Only in the past few months we have seen Iranian attempts to attack Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and other places," he said in a statement.

"Eighteen years exactly after the blast at the Jewish community centre in Argentina, murderous Iranian terror continues to hit innocent people.

On the other hand, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak accused Hezbollah of being behind the attack.

Talking to the Israeli radio, Barack said: "The immediate executors are Hezbollah people, who of course have constant Iranian sponsorship."

Surely you can admit that the terrorist killing of Israeli tourists is just as tragic as IDF killings of Palestinians, right, and just as worthy of condemnation?

Editor: Of course, we have carried several pieces on it, pure tragedy, no different in the impact on living humans.

I do believe Iran was behind the attack. There Government support the terrorists. If Israel is smart they don't wait another minute and blow up this terrorist Government. And I would appreciate if you stop called the Israeli people "Zionist". There are people like me and you. And I understand that they were innocent people who were going on vacation. You make it sound like they deserved to die. But I sure can see you feeling sorry for the terrorists. How is your response going to be when they start blowing up American people here in the US and abroad? What will you call them?

Tim King: Zionists are not Jews, Jews are not Zionists, in fact there are far more Christian Zionists than Jewish. Basically, the philosophy states that Jewish people are the 'chosen' and that everyone else is here to serve them, well screw that. Jewish people believe in God, Zionists believe in land theft. Zionists prey on non intellects like yourself and they exploit your ignorance for personal gain, that is why the U.S. shovels over twenty million dollars a day into the hands of the Israelis so that they can kill Palestinians and further isolate them.

All of the land that Israel sits on, belonged to other people. Can you even get your mind around how big of a deal that is? This is the 1948 event that we refer to as The Nakba. This is the tragedy of Palestine, when places like Deir Yassin had almost all of the residents murdered by Zionist militants. All they have done is steal Palestine, the villages that were hundreds of years old are gone, not a trace remains of so many, so that the armed settlers can build apartment buildings.

Israel has separate roads for Jews and non-Jews and separate laws for Jews and non-Jews. It is scarcely better than Nazi Germany and it is our enemy, the Muslim people and the Jewish and Christian people are pawns in a power game to steal the West Bank and Gaza, the only remaining places that are Palestine, along with Golan Heights. You and all who support this are the enemies of mankind and there will be a new chapter in this story, and it will be better than the past. Remember too that we are surrounded by friends from Israel who are on our side, it is not in any way impossible for Israel to improve itself, but its evil government refuses and kills more, steals more, and at the same time loses respect from all of the world except for the stupid supporters in America.

Jihad bells,jihad bells Jihad over all Oh what a fun the infidels To met their god Jihadist send Jihad bells, Jihad bells Terror everywhere Oh-we made all blinds From Bombay to L.A. Jihad bells, Jihad bells Jihad over all All the Budists, Crsitians, Jews and Hindu Their time will come should know Jihad bells, Jihad bells Jihad over all --- Watch " Marry Christmas from Bethlehem" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXERGzBZo0U ********** Everyone has the right to defend himself against terror except Israel. Obama excluded Israel from the international antiterrorist conference. (Persecuting, chasing and killing Jews is a 2000 years norm, that for they should not in included in anti terror protection) Watch "ONLY ISRAEL" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaGHUZ-8DWw

In Israel, from the dreaded 'Hamas rocket attacks', a total of 28 people have died in all time. If a Palestinian raises a slingshot toward you guys they are arrested and tortured and beaten. All Israel has ever done was kill in under the ruse of 'defending' itself' as it steals Palestine. Every person who backs Israel's madness is nothing but a babykiller in their heart and every time I see one of you, I see the ghosts of the murdered victims, like the Samouni children of Gaza, getting ready to claw your eyes out for their intentional blindness. You are sick and twisted and Israel is the devil's playground and has not anything to do with God, he never meant for Israel to happen, you damned wankers!
