THE TRIAL OF BOURGAS AIRPORT TERRORIST ATTACK FAILS SO START AGAIN

For the third time, Bulgaria’s specialized court did not proceed with the case of the terrorist attack at Bourgas airport. The reason for the delay this time was because of procedures related to the summoning of Israeli citizens who were injured in the attack. The next sitting of the court is scheduled for the end of May.

On 18th of July, 2012, a bomb exploded in a bus with Israeli tourists just arriving for their vacation in the Bulgarian coastal city of Bourgas. The blast killed five Israeli citizens, a Bulgarian bus driver and 35 people were injured. The seventh victim was the bomber himself.

The two suspects accused in-abstenia are Meliad Farah, holder of Australian passport and Hassan El Hajj Hassan, a Canadian passport-holder and Lebanese citizenship.
