31. Thanks to agitators who demanded terrorists release.He
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.20.12)
is not the only one who went back to terror after protesting innocence.
32. #22 yes, the name is 100% Iranian
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (07.20.12)
The reason we call ourselves Persians and not Iranian is because we don't want to identify with such people as this bomber. We prefer our original culture to the Islamic name which is Iran. May prayers go the victims' families! Am Israel Chai!
33. #2 makes no difference to us!!
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (07.20.12)
A donkey is in fact a donkey. It is the same enemy to us. Your Egypt will face the same if they keep following the Iranians.
34. #9 More, like this cussword freak
Isabella1709 ,   Tampa USA   (07.20.12)
should never have been released.
35. Give credit to Obama!
Israeli Texan   (07.20.12)
Obama insisted the terrorists should be released and are harmless. His failed presidency relies on his slogan, "hope". He was hoping they would turn into loving and caring people. Maybe like the citizens of Egypt who favor democracy and freedom. Mr Obama, when will you understand the barbaric nature of Islamic fanaticism??
36. Suicide bomber
Leonard ,   Green River   (07.20.12)
Fortunately DNA analysis now is capable of revieling a persons geogrephic heritage. If he is part Scandinavian & part N. African we will know. Beyond that a lot of other "material" was collected. I'd wait for all the evidence to be sorted out, before going off half cocked.
37. Michigan Arab community, largest in the US. Not coincidental
Michigan ,   Dearborn, Michigan   (07.20.12)
38. Mehdi Ghezali
mimi jacques ,   oob,usa   (07.20.12)
Mehdi Mohammad Ghezali was born July 5,1979 in Stockholm,Sweden- his mother is from Finland and his father is an Algerian. Mehdi Ghezali spent 8/1999 to 6/2000 in prison in Portugal for theft-Great Britain,Saudi Arabia,North Waziristan where captured as enemy combatant in Gitmo 2002-2004 -released to Swedish g'ment in lieu of being imprisoned-let go- then atrested by Paks in Punjab.Waziristan in 9/2009 - US did not want him. Regarding his AQ affiliation- and his father's ties- read http://wikileaks.ch/gitmo/prisoner/166.html Right now there are over 100 Swedish tourists in Bulgaria's Sunny Beach- stone throw off from Bargas. Iran does not discriminate- Hizbollah and Hamas- dual citizens or Maghreb roots.
39. Really?!
Daniel Baruch   (07.20.12)
We have the news from the news media! Now let us analyse whatever bytesize samples they may release to us and contemplate whether any of this story makes sense. Let us not forget the lessons of 9/11. I am pointing the finger at you too CFR, Bilderberg, et all...!!!
40. NPR's report about the attack
Sarah G. ,   Touring in Europe   (07.20.12)
Sadly, NPR's report about the attack was written by AP and the word terrorist of terrorism isn't mentioned at all. Rest assured, if the terrorist spent time in Gitmo, the Obama administration will do everything in it's power to bury the hatchet - can't have any embarrassing news just before elections.
41. #25 Interesting
tim ,   --   (07.20.12)
And at least one poster here has already blamed Obama for releasing him from Gitmo.
42. reply to post 28
Ridman   (07.20.12)
A Spy is trained to survive! but why he choose to hide among israelis tourist? who was following him?
43. And while John McCain runs Michelle Bachman
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (07.20.12)
through the ringer about CAIR.....Obama and the Democratic parties little minions that were released form Guantanomo Bay Cuba... out of remorse for how badly George Bush treated them....are killing Jews by the bus load. If Israel hasn't noticed...the Democratic party in the United States is siding and switching allegiances to the Muslim minority in the United States. John McCain might as well switch parties while he is at it. He hasn't a clue about radical islam and their ideas about wiping all of us off the map for Allah. License from Michigan.....why is that not a surprise.
44. Quit making apologies number 9#
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (07.20.12)
You make us all want to puke. Only three .....three people were water boarded at Guantanomo Bay Cuba. You liberal clowns act like all these religious nuts had it sooooo bad. Excuses are like a planet out in the solar system.....it might be yours.
45. To # 1
shai ,   Haifa   (07.20.12)
Hi, you should get in touche with the police, you may help the case to get this guy and maybe others too! Shai
46. to posts 25 and 41
Ridman   (07.20.12)
41, i agree with your comment. Post 25, like you, i always like to listen experts analizing the facts. Maybe the Algerian wasnt muslim. They avoid violence during the ramadan.
47. Nobody would be surprised
Mira ,   Vienna   (07.20.12)
Sweden be known for her fostering of antisemitism!
48. To 46 it's not Mehdi Ghazali
Nevena ,   Paris, France   (07.20.12)
I read in the Bulgarian media it's not him. At one point 18.07 was given as his date of death in Wikipédia but was later removed. He was apparently found alive and well somewhere by the Swedish autorities. The suspect was described as having an arabic accent by a car rent dealer in à nearby town. Mehdi has an European accent.
49. Terrorist training camps should be bombed and destroyed.
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.20.12)
50. post 48
Ridman   (07.20.12)
i was reading the american media. too. Apparently and according to Al Jazeera sources he wasnt a taxi driver from ny with cuban accent. neither. Maybe the interpol beleives he had Swedish id. Lets say he had a chinnesse accent instead of european, If he was a terrorist, why to detonate the bomb outside, if he was inside the airport? i have no clue about it..
51. European supremacy?
Sacha   (07.20.12)
According to Prevneliev profile in wikipedia: Among his priorities as a new president was to remove ambassadors of Bulgaria in foreign countries who have served as secret agents during the Communist regime." -....hmmm ti see more than 50 talkbacks here and no one said a word about Prevneliev is very weird...
52. Swedish Security Service Chief
Beary White ,   Norway   (07.20.12)
Swedish Security Service Chief Claes Ohlson? It is the name of a big mercandise-shopping-chain in Scandinavia. Then for sure, if he is running both the mercandise and security in Sweden, the answer is forseeable...
53. swedish diplomat and bomber
marcel   (07.20.12)
if the bomber was a guantanamo prisoner released by the americans at the insistence of the swedish PM or high ranking official, then this offiical will be interrogated at the appropriate time for enabling terror and murder against israelis. Take note, you will be visited.
54. #2 non-observer
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (07.20.12)
True, USA Sows, Israel reaps, and you comment from behind the safety of your computer, relying upon the media, as per usual
55. #19 Tim - non-observer
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (07.20.12)
is noted for commenting on places & things he has never been to or seen, which includes most things under the sun
56. #23 gandja
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (07.20.12)
Israel is unable to supply security to every airport As a Jewish Policeman, do you really think that a fellow passenger will allow you to search their luggage searching for destructive devices, or do a body search & patdown? An American tried that in Florida, stopped a suspicous youth, strugged and shot him to death Kaufmann va Trayvon Martin It is one heck of a glorious mess
57. #27 Galut
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (07.20.12)
You have only BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA to thank for his for the release
58. #57 Wrong
Tim ,   UK   (07.21.12)
The bomber wasn't in Gitmo. Do you ever get anything right? I'm thinking not, as any time I read your username there's almost always something untrue following it.
59. #91 Tim
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (07.21.12)
Complain to Observer, in this case he claimed that he had been in Guantanamo, pick your head & read the secondt post So many had been in Gitmo that it's hard to keep track, since many have similar names and have retrurned to this old ways Next item or items that you claim were "Untrue"?
60. #58 Tim, when you read a paper
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (07.21.12)
do your understand words, I don't believe so? Dyslexia or idiocy, your choice IN this very same article, in the caption, read what it say's, he spent two years in Gitmo Report: Burgas bomber an Algerian-Swedish Islamist Bulgarian media name Mehdi Ghezali as suspected terrorist who blew up Israeli tour bus, say he spent two years in Guantanamo Bay. Stockholm denies he was Swedish national Yitzhak Benhorin Latest Update: 07.19.12, 23:31 / Israel News
