Report: Burgas Bomber was Algerian Trained in South Lebanon

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The bomber who targeted a bus in the Bulgarian Black Sea resort of Burgas in 2012, killing five Israeli tourists, was of Algerian origin and trained in camps in southern Lebanon, the Bulgarian daily Presa said Monday.

"The assailant was born in Algeria, lived in Morocco and was trained in camps in South Lebanon. He also studied at a Beirut university with the other two suspects," the newspaper quoted sources familiar with the investigation as saying.

Israel and Bulgaria have already accused Hizbullah of being behind the attack at Burgas airport, the deadliest on Israelis abroad since 2004.

Bulgaria had previously identified as alleged accomplices two Lebanese men with links to Hizbullah -- and with Canadian and Australian passports -- and has made so-far unanswered extradition requests to Lebanon.

The bomber died in the attack although it remains unclear if he intended to die.

The same daily said last month that the bomber was a Lebanese man.

Chief prosecutor spokeswoman Rumyana Arnaudova declined to comment on the March report in the newspaper, which cited sources in the Bulgarian intelligence services.

The European Union put the armed wing of Hizbullah last year on its terrorism blacklist over the incident.

funny how all the accused were not even Lebanese from Lebanon. All came from different countries (canada, australia, algeria) and spent just enough time in Lebanon to be able to pin it on HA.

i dont get it, doesnt HA have agents here? why get them from abroad? and if so, why bring them here? training? for what? carrying a bomb? pressing a trigger? how does that require going to supposed "training camps" in the south?

sounds like a new hollywoodian scenario. all that trouble to get HA blacklisted in europe? they must really be hatin :)

It is not training, but more of a brainwashing session that is required, do it for the good cause.

habibi anonyme, why bother trying to use an algerian, if we know the mossad would the case 27 seconds after the explosion, and their fan club here wouldnt doubt it for a second anyway? :)

check your facts habibi. according to their own investigations, the canadian and australian passport holders came from those respective countries and only spent a few years in lebanon before the bombing.
i repeat, why take people from abroad and bring them to Lebanon? just to establish a supposed link with HA?

solve* the case

also, bulgarian investigators said it looked like the bomber didnt know he was going to blow up. did they use a mule, or whatever one would call that?

how hard is it to get some poor dude and ask him to carry your suitcase into the bus?

Thumb .mowaten. 08 April 2014, 14:35

as you say anonyme, just because they spent a few years in lebanon does not make them HA members.
and thanks for confirming my point, why make them come through leb, if they could have sent them straight from canada and australia?

funny how the Hezbollah-linked suspects never show up for the trials if they are so innocent.
The algerian man, did they fool him into some false flag-plot like they did to that Hariri-suicide operation?

funny how people accused by the STL or the US or M14 get jailed for years without trial or evidence being presented.. (remember the 4 generals? and how long has it been in guantanamo for instance?)

doesnt really make you want to throw yourself in their arms, does it?

Thumb .mowaten. 07 April 2014, 16:14

do you even have a point amatoury? or are you just showing us how retarded you are?

either answer my point, or try to make one. but this irrelevance only makes you look worse than you already.

Cedre, you know why I dislike American movies nowadays? That's because there's too much sax and violins. Now, let's not start name calling people, please, you can do better. Let Southern express his views without all this, I am sure that you won't like it if someone touched your holy figures. Take me for instance, I never liked the Imam Khomeiny either, but I will keep respect for him because of my Shiite siblings. maybe that's how it should be anyway, right?

what next? When Hizbullah, Syria, issues settled they will suddenly find out that the tyre of the bus exploded (from overheating) and caused the damage.. This is a farce!! Bulgaria is an underdeveloped nation, with rotten institutions, and an administration rife with corruption. That country's as credible as an investigation by the Syrian police!

tells us enough about Ha penetration into north African terrorist organisations. To answer the questions above, the reasons behind using non lebanese shiaa men is obviously to have the crime blamed on radical sunni (typically north african salafists)terrorist organisations.

Ha is doing well in abusing the sunni salafists deteriorating image and investing in making it worse, hitting two birds in one rock. yet with no doubt his bigger bird is raising more hate and fear from the sunni mindset, the radical and non radical ones.

It didn't say refugee camps. Are you gonna pretend like HA does not have military training camps in the south? Are you gonna pretend like they arent capable of using decoys such as a convert to shiaism or other decoys?

lol what do you call a guy who speaks BS and clearly doesnt know what he's talking about? :)

Thumb .mowaten. 07 April 2014, 16:25

HA doesnt have training camps in the south, they wouldnt train there because it's too close to israel (no time to see drones or bombers coming, making easy targets for israel is not their favorite hobby)
camps are in the north of the bekaa, in syria and in iran.

Palastenian or HA camps does not matter. Both must be disarmed and disbanded (starting with the Palastenians as they are made of non-Lebanese totally).

I am not against HA when they vs Israel, but I am now against HA arms in Lebanon, and against HA in Syria. However, I am more against these Sunni Takfiri. In HAs defense, it is ridiculous to think that HA is collaborating with the takfiri extremists that would rather kill a Shiite than a jew. I know 100% that there is no HA collaboration with these Algerians.

Wasn't Maliki complaining to UN about Bashar training and arming takfiris in iraq ?
