Bulgaria wants faster foreign help in bus bomb investigation

Bulgaria wants speedier responses from nations it asked for help in its investigation of a deadly bus bombing in July that it has previously blamed on Lebanon's Hezbollah group, Foreign Minister Kristian Vigenin said on Thursday.

"Bulgaria is ready to join a consensus decision of the European Union (on blacklisting Hezbollah) and it is our obligation to provide yet more solid ground for it," Vigenin said in a statement. "I have asked to speed up the process of collecting additional evidence from our foreign partners that were asked for legal help," he said. (Reuters)
