Bulgaria is returning to Lebanon the remains of the terrorist who, in 2012, blew himself on a bus carrying Israeli tourists, BGNES reported. The terrorist attack took place at Sarafovo Airport—the deadliest attack on Israelis abroad since 2004. In the incident on July 18, 2012, the target of the attack was a bus carrying Israeli tourists who had just landed at Burgas Airport to spend their vacation on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. Five Israelis, the Bulgarian bus driver and the 23-year-old Lebanese-born bomber Mohamad Hassan El Husseini were killed. Dozens were injured.
At the request of the El-Husseini family, the head of Lebanon’s General Directorate of General Security at that time, Abbas Ibrahim, was reportedly "in contact with the Bulgarian authorities" to seek the repatriation of the attacker’s body to his homeland, AFP reported.
