Bulgaria: Qaedat al-Jihad not responsible for bombing

Bulgaria's Foreign Ministry has refuted a claim made Saturday by a group calling itself Qaedat al-Jihad that it was the body responsible for the terrorist bombing that killed five Israelis and one Bulgarian man.

A spokesperson told the Bulgarian news agency Focus that the group's claim was false and that its message stated that "the holy war is not limited to one place, and we will fight the Jews and the Americans until they leave Islamic land." (Ynet)
