[quote]An explosion has killed at least three people on a bus carrying Israeli tourists in the eastern Bulgarian city of Burgas, Bulgarian officials say.
More than 20 people were also injured when the bus exploded at Burgas airport, by the Black Sea.
Witnesses told Israeli TV that someone boarded the bus and a huge explosion immediately followed.
Reuters news agency says Burgas airport has now been closed and flights are being diverted to Varna.
Israeli officials said the passengers from a Tel-Aviv-Burgas flight boarded the bus shortly after 1700 local time (1400 GMT).
"We don't know if it was a terror attack. We do know it was an explosion," Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Paul Hirschson was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
Two buses standing nearby were also damaged.
In January there were reports that Israel had asked Bulgaria to tighten security for Israeli tourists travelling by bus.
Israeli tourists have been targeted in attacks in a number of countries around the world.[/quote]

What do you mean "aw fuck?"
It's like the US in the cold war era, everything was blamed on "communism", the Israeli government is in the same position, except in their case it's "Iran".
To be fair though, Iran are probably the ones who perpetrated this. They tried a lot recently, don't you remember the last attempted bombings that were stopped just in time, and were found to have ties with Iranians/Hezbollah?

I doubt it has anything to do with an event which happened 18 years ago. Maybe if Israel stopped being a massive dick with every country surrounding them we wouldn't have this kind of article.

Wtf. Israel's foreign policy does [i]not[/i] justify the murder of Israeli tourists.

Technically Israel is really only a dick with a single country that lies entirely within it's own borders...
Was there 2 weeks ago, lucky me
Israel reaps what it sows.
It's only a shame the ones who die are the innocent.
If it were a bus full of Israeli corrupt governors and religious fanatics I'd press the trigger myself.
I bet by saying this I'll be escorted by mossad next time I go to Israel.
The security they made us go through there was just fucking ridiculous. That and the exploitation of minorities such as Muslims and Palestinians is fucking sick. Every Israeli should be at least a little ashamed of the situation they're into. No wonder the revolt towards injustice reaches such extreme measures.
You're right you should pull the trigger
strap a bomb to yourself and kill yourself please

or just maybe kill yourself
I hope Iran did it, because if they did it'll be the last straw and Israel is going to lay a little bit of a much needed spanking on them
Pretty much all of my friends went to burgas last year. It's a very popular Israeli vacation spot.
[QUOTE=Jocke;36830764]Was there 2 weeks ago, lucky me[/QUOTE]
Been there several times. And going back there in a month, I love the little village (Sarafavo) right next to the airport, it's got some great bars and people.
Was supposed to go there when it happened, our travelling agency redirected us and all the other passengers that was supposed to travel from Burgas to Varna instead. Pretty long night and now after 12 hours of waiting I'm finally back home.
[QUOTE=Stopper;36830222]Something curious as well - someone called in the Bugras police station an hour before the bombing and warned them, but the bomb wasn't found until it was too late. What's even more curious is that I remember watching on national telly about someone calling them a [I]month[/I] ago, warning about this whole thing.

Yeah, building walls along side borders, and exploiting Palestinians seems to be a great thing to do.
That and blaming the revolt Israel creates in minorities on Iran is a fucking joke, my friend.
Israeli government is a joke.
Seems like it was a Swedish guy that did it.
If someone knows anything more please correct me.

A spanking that will half the world to war and involve your precious lifestyle.
