Tsatsarov: Evidence points to Hezbollah's involvement in the Sarafovo Airport bus bombing

The statement of Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov about Hezbollah militant group's involvement in the Sarafovo Airport terrorist attack following a meeting of the Advisory Council for National Security was based on evidence uncovered, said Bulgaria's Prosecutor General Sotir Tsatsarov on his way to the Supreme Judicial Court. Tsatsarov repeated his words from the previous day that disclosing such information is a political decision and it was made at the last meeting of the Advisory Council for National Security which doesn't include the Prosecutor General. According to Sotir Tsatsarov, although the assertion regarding Hezbollah's involvement is based on objective evidence, there is no indictment as yet.

"Our goal is to bring people behind this terrorist attack to justice," said the Prosecutor General, adding that although there is evidence pointing to the identity of the perpetrators, there is still more work to be done before charges are pressed, including formalities such as making requests for legal assistance.

"The investigation into the Burgas terrorist attack is really intensive and officials have done an incredible amount of work so far. Things should continue in the same fashion," Tsatsarov commented.

The Prosecutor General also said that the terrorists' intention was to blow up the bus with Israeli passengers on the road with the help of a remote control device.
