Tourists shocked after Bulgarian bombing
- 12 years ago
Dozens of tourists camp out, waiting to catch an early flight home from the Bulgarian resort town of Burgas.
They're anxious to get away after a suicide bombing on a tourist bus yesterday killed 8 and wounded 30 more.
The bus was carrying Israeli tourists.

"It is simply an outrageous act. I don't know. I have no words. I am sorry for the people who were hurt, who were killed."
With the airport still closed, airport authorities told tourists they would likely be stranded until midnight.
Israel has blamed Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants for the bombing and said it would not hesitate to respond to what it called "Iranian terror".
The incident was not reported by Iranian media and there was no immediate Iranian reaction to Israel's accusations.
