I got a call 15 minutes ago from a friend in Burgas.

As far as I understand it's not a "tour bus" but an airport shuttle.

The amount of casualties and wounded vary among news sources. This is most likely a terrorist act.

Why did they have to bring this ######## here

If I was anyone, I'd keep my distance from those that bring bad Karma to us or our system! hint, hint...Looks like a deeper version of the holocaust is being created around the world, but who is at stake? Also looks like every side wants to sabotage the other so that a war can be created to take land or what not? How pathetic! The people are the ones who pay the price for these deceitful acts! The people have to pay the price for a higher persons actions...? Why is this ? So we are not all equal , right? If a person or group has that much power over us, then we are not equal..

All designed to show the israelis that the fears instilled in them by their government are well founded and that they really should hate the rest of the world as a threat.
If it was a muslim faction behind this, they will lay claim to it, how would anyone have known exactly which bus to hit and when?
how big is the airport, how many shuttle buses are running, who has the schedules, was it the usual driver, who had access to the bus before hand, and, was a charles de menezes type figure killed by the security services (yet).
very very convenient, and i am sorry if my skepticism offends you, i feel extremely jaded at the moment.

Just a clarification. Are you suggesting that the Israeli Government blew up the tour bus in order to keep their citizens in fear? If so, then where and how would you get such an idea?

already the priminister of israel is saying every thing points to iran he's quick at getting the evidences he knows because it was mosad and i would bet it was mosad thats just done the bombing in syria

Blast hits Israeli tour bus in Bulgaria

This name, Bulgaria, rung a bell with me and I recalled a theory that linked it to the attempted assasination of the Pope

Several theories exist concerning Mehmet Ali Ağca's assassination attempt. One, strongly advocated since the early 1980s by Michael Ledeen among others, is that the assassination attempt had originated from Moscow and that the KGB had instructed the Bulgarian and East German secret services to carry out the mission. The Bulgarian Secret Service was allegedly instructed by the KGB to assassinate the Pope because of his support of Poland's Solidarity movement, seeing it as one of the most significant threats to Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe.

So maybe there are still terrorism-for-hire connections around.

Bulgaria bus blast was deliberate attack: interior minister

SOFIA (Reuters) - An explosion in a bus carrying Israeli tourists which killed at least four and injured dozens at the Bulgarian airport of Burgas was a deliberate attack, national radio BNR quoted Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov as saying.

The police were investigating two possible causes of the blast - that an explosive device was put in the bus before the tourists boarded or that the explosives were in the tourists' luggage, the radio quoted Tsvetanov as saying.
