(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The "Israeli" and Bulgarian intelligence services still do not have clear evidence of Hizbullah's involvement in the attack.
An "Israeli" official said that, according to an investigation, in the two months leading up to the attack, the number of phone calls made between Lebanon and the city of Burgas was unusually high. The number became even higher in the three days leading up to the attack.
"We know the sources in Lebanon," but not who is on the other end of the phone call in Bulgaria, the New York Times cited the "Israeli" official as saying.
The Bulgarian intelligence services investigation over the attack has largely not advanced, according to the newspaper, and investigators still do not know the identity of the suicide bomber, or his accomplices.
Bulgaria is hesitating to say that Hizbullah was behind the attack without stronger evidence, especially in light of the fact that the European Union does not recognize Hizbullah as a terror organization.
A German intelligence official who was interviewed for the New York Times article said that there is skepticism over the involvement of Hizbullah in the attack. It is likely that Iran used operatives with some connection to Hizbullah, the official said.
Seven people were killed in the bombing, five of them "Israeli" tourists, one of them the Bulgarian bus driver. An additional 34 "Israelis" were wounded in the attack.
