Bulgarian investigators believe they have identified the suicide bomber who blew himself up on a bus yesterday, killing five Israeli tourists and the bus driver.
Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov described the suspect, with his bermudas and back-pack as indistinguishable from thousands of other travellers.
It is believed he put a bag in the luggage compartment of the bus and then climbed aboard. Many of the injuries suffered by the dozens wounded in the blast were to lower limbs.
Israel is pointing the finger at Iran although Tehran has formally denied any involvement in this, the first attack on Israelis on Bulgarian soil.
However Bulgaria's Foreign Minister Nikolai Mladenow said it was a "mistake" to blame countries or groups while an investigation is ongoing.
Police are still trying to identify the suspect. They say he was 36 years old and carrying a fake US driving licence issued in the state of Michigan.
