Jerusalem (AsiaNews / Agencies) - Hezbollah and Iran are behind the attack on the Israeli bus in Bulgaria, there are no doubts for the Israeli government: these the words of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who already yesterday claimed that "all signs lead to Iran. In recent months - he added - we have seen Iranian attempts to attack Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and other places."
The statements of the Prime Minister were echoed by those of Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, according to who "Hezbollah, aided by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is responsible for the suicide attack. This is proven information", and the defense minister, Ehud Barak: "We are facing a global wave of terror", "the attack in Burgas was led by Hezbollah members and sponsored by Iran."
