61. very sad
Daoud ,   San Francisco   (07.18.12)
hopefully the people who orchestrated this attack are brought to justice. Although I am Palestinian and have no love for Israel, civilians should not go through this. My regards! It was probably Iran!

Who the heck are you ???Are you Muhammed???Not SERIOUS? .People have been murdered.Go back and crawl under your rock!!!!
65. It is true. It seems to be very well organised.
Borislav ,   Bulgaria   (07.18.12)
Our emergency services at the airport did not delay and the ambulances from the city were also quickly at the airport, but we would not expect such a thing. Bulgaria is a country, friendly both to Israel and to the Arab countries. There was a phone call to the tour agency, stating that "The Israelis will be welcomed accordingly", but nothing specific. My condolences to the victim's families. Until now 4 persons dead, more than 30 heavily burned, condition of Bulgarian driver and hostess unknown.

I am more amazed that Ynet puts up this garbage!
69. Sincerest condolences to the families
Borislava ,   Sofia, Bulgaria   (07.18.12)
What happened is terrible. I regret that the name of Bulgaria was mentioned in such an ugly cause. "In January, information appeared that Israeli authorities had warned their Bulgarian colleagues about a possible attack in ski resort. Then the head of the security unit in the Israeli transport ministry Danny Shenar has contacted colleagues in Sofia and Athens and asked them to improve safety conditions around the buses with Israeli tourists between airports and hotels or holiday houses."

70. Responsibility
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv/DC   (07.18.12)
I know there is no one claiming responsibility yet. I suspect that Iran or one of its proxies carried out this attack. We have been warned repeatedly to watch ourselves while traveling. Now it seems places that were considered safe, still pose potential danger. We all need to be vigilant and work to protect ourselves while abroad. We can not rely on foreign governments to have our safety and security as a foremost thought on their minds. This tragedy and the response by officials highlights this issue. My condolences to the families. I hope the culprits are quickly caught and removed from this earth.

Edithann ,   USA   (07.18.12)
a life's mission...Israel just captured a real Hitler era Nazi just yesterday. The guy is 97 years old, so it takes time, so what? The mission is Revenge and it's goal is 'what' a deterrent? When Israel set out to bring Iran to its knees and boasts of assassinating their scientists, boast and toast the destruction of Irans computer systems and influence the US to destroy their economy, ....you have no right to be surprised, angry or even outraged when it starts to hit you back...

83. # 79
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.18.12)
After the British newspaper, the Sun, had tracked down the world's most wanted nazi war criminal, Ladislams Csizsik-Csatay, Hungarian prosecutors took him into custody. After he was identified by the Simon Weisenthal Center. Israel did not capture this nazi war criminal. You never fail to make an idiot of yourself by distorting the facts.
84. The World

Put leaders of the world in a small room and leave the rest of us in PEACE!
85. 7 killed # 79 #52
Frank Mazuca ,   Lakeland USA   (07.18.12)
The stupidity of some people still amazes me. To make a statement about alleged attacks of Israel on Iran and then state a justification for bombing and killing innocent people on a bus. Dear Dan: To wish death on the perpetrators is normal and possible just but to wish the slaughter of their families is to descend to their level. Please do not let hate do that to you.
86. #83 Good one, Birdi

87. as of 2:30pm eastern
steve from raleigh   (07.18.12)
CNN still stubbornly refuses to call this an attack of any kind. They are officially insane at CNN. Case closed.
88. #66 - so the Israeli tourists were on a flotilla to Bulgaria
William ,   Israel   (07.18.12)
Unlike the Turkish terrorists, these Israeli tourists were unarmed, welcomed in the destination country, broke no laws, and are categorized as civilians per Intl conventions. The UN Palmer Report stated quite differently of the Turkish terrorists on the Mavi Marmara. So, like any other Muslim terrorist, you advocate targeting innocent civilians in response to a military action on legitimate targets. That shows cowardice, which seems to be the MO of AKP. Perhaps a proper response to Turkey is - DRILL, CYPRUS, DRILL!!
89. #79 - Israel never boasted that they killed Iranian scientis
William ,   Israel   (07.18.12)
Your ilk did - from the first day. Israel neither confirmed nor denied anything. Big difference, but it just shows where your biased minds takes you if not kept in check. From your post, it seems like you justify the murder of civilians in response to a computer virus targeting an illegal military nuke site. But rather than a Nazi hunt, let's say this will be more like the Munich terrorists hunt. Quick, with a wide net, and final.
90. #45 As a pillow biter, Gregg... you should appreciate your
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (07.18.12)
