Subscribe to RSSAn explosion rocked a bus carrying Israeli tourists at an airport in Bulgaria, killing at least four people. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
Updated at 6:04 p.m. ET: SOFIA, Bulgaria -- An explosion on a bus carrying Israeli tourists at an airport in Burgas killed at least six people and injured 32 others, Bulgarian authorities said. Bulgarian officials could not confirm the deadly blast was terror-related but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran.
"Iran is responsible for the terror attack in Bulgaria, we will have a strong response against Iranian terror," said Netanyahu in a statement, according to Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper.
Tehran did not immediately issue a comment.
A bomb caused the explosion, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolai Mladenov told Reuters.
The Israelis had landed at the airport around 4:45 p.m. local time (9:45 a.m. ET) and boarded a bus to their hotel when the explosion happened, The Jerusalem Post reported. Body parts were flung onto the tarmac and a thick black plume of smoke rose above the airport.
An 11-year-old Israeli girl and two pregnant women were among those injured, according to Focus, a Bulgarian news agency.

Smoke rises over the Burgas airport in Bulgaria, after an explosion on Wednesday.
"I do not know what it was, but it was a very powerful blast, and I think it was something placed on purpose in the bus, which carried 47 Israeli tourists," Burgas mayor Dimitar Nikolov told BTV television. Burgas is 250 miles from Sofia, Bulgaria's capital.
Nikolov said 171 people had arrived on a plane from Israel to spend their holiday at the Black Sea coast. One American and one Slovenian passenger were on board, he said.
The Bulgarian Press Office, which provided the casualty figures, said only one bus was involved in the explosion, but added the investigation is ongoing.
According to a Bulgarian news service, an eyewitness named Daniel told the Voice of Israel radio program: “I was literally watching people crawling out of the bus. They were screaming and one of them had no arms or legs. It was horrible.”
Another Israeli traveler told the radio station: “The people who survived got through the windows and were trying to crawl over the bodies. The bus was destroyed from both sides.”
In separate statements, President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack.

An explosion damaged a bus carrying Israeli tourists at Burgas Airport in Bulgaria on Wednesday.
"As Israel has tragically once more been a target of terrorism, the United States reaffirms our unshakeable commitment to Israel's security, and our deep friendship and solidarity with the Israeli people," Obama said. He called Netanyahu on Wednesday to express his condolences.
Clinton said the U.S. is prepared to offer "any assistance necessary" and that she was prepared to "work with our partners in Bulgaria, Israel and elsewhere so that the perpetrators can be apprehended swiftly and brought to justice for this appalling crime."
Wednesday's bombing coincided with the 18th anniversary of the bombing of a Jewish community center in Argentina that killed 85 people. According to the BBC, Argentinian prosecutors charged Iran with orchestrating the attack, which they believe was carried out by Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based militia.
Netanyahu said Israel would respond.
"All the signs lead to Iran. Only in the past few months we have seen Iranian attempts to attack Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and other places," Netanyahu said in a statement. "This is an Iranian terror attack that is spreading throughout the entire world. Israel will react powerfully against Iranian terror."
But Jerusalem Post writer Yaakov Katz questioned the connection between the two events.
"While the attack is severe, it is not of the scale of what happened in 1994," Katz wrote. In 1994 in Argentina, a van filled with explosives rammed into the Jewish community center, killing 84 people. Wednesday's attack, he said, appeared to have been perpetrated by a suicide bomber or a planted bomb.
"This is a break from Hezbollah's traditional tactic of carrying out attacks with less of a footprint," Katz wrote. "In previous plots that were thwarted recently, there were attempts to shoot down Israeli airliners with shoulder-to-air missiles, to plant bombs on diplomatic cars or to assassinate Israeli diplomats. Nothing that would leave evidence behind."
Israeli officials had previously said that Bulgaria, a popular holiday destination for young Israeli tourists, was vulnerable to attack by Islamist militants who could infiltrate via nearby Turkey.
Israeli diplomats have been targeted in several countries in recent months by bombers who Israel said struck on behalf of Iran.
Though Tehran has denied involvement, some analysts believe it is trying to avenge the assassinations of several scientists from its controversial nuclear program, which the Iranians have blamed on Israel and its Western allies.
Israel has threatened air strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities if diplomatic efforts fail to stop Tehran getting nuclear weapons, which it denies it is seeking.
The Israel Airports Authority announced disruptions in flights from Israel and Europe, according to Haaretz.
NBC's Lawahez Jabari in Jerusalem, Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

People. Just read and think. They think by killing innocent kids we will get there point. Am i crazy? We all know it will never happened. They will be hunted and put down. Like Osama Bin Laden, like all of them. I do not what to go to war, how ever i will not ignore it. If i have to protect human life from terrorists i will.
Roman-2244757: Kudos to you. Thank you for your service.
The Israelis probably did this to their own and blame it on Iran to create a war propaganda.
...sure, just like the Americans flew into the WTC, and bombed Pearl Harbor...and everything is a conspiracy...outside a small circle of friends...
The only peace Islam accepts is when the whole world is in submission. Muhammad was a sadistic, murdering, raping, looting pirate, and he instructs all his followers to do likewise. The religion of peace is a big lie. But then the Koran gives them permission to lie to us infidels.
No gabe, your Iranian bosses did it, and they'll get their payback soon enough.
False Flags work..... and Bibi has all lthe answers so soon... odd isnt it?
comments like this from gabe clearly indicate many like-minded halfwits remain in debt from overpaying to get a Leftist 'education' from some ripoff 'college', maybe Bill Ayers spoon fed this drivel to these marxist puppets. whatever the tuition, a refund is warranted.
sure Gabe, still staying up late to see Santa
...it's not about "getting a point" - it is about radical islam impressing/demonstrating justice to moderate islam...and sadly, until the rest of the world understands this is not about us, but the destruction of us, this will continue and we're a long ways off from that, ...(wonder if BO will make an impassioned speech on live TV condemning this act...don't hold your breath...)
Just keep the US out of it.
It sounds just like Iran to attack children on a bus, as like most muslims they are a buch of pussys that attack women and children. Its time to turn Tehran into a smoking bbq pit.
Islam is a peaceful religion my ass obama... you and your fellow muslims are just a bunch of pussys that are afraid to fight and attack women and children. Islam is a plague and we need to get rid of it soon.
George W Bush claimed also Islam is a religion of peace... How about when the US invades a country that posed no threat, like Iraq, bombing cites to the ground, killing women and children in their homes... you sir are a fool.
TGFD here.
Anita...And what should we call someone with the name "Bongtoke"? A genius?
TGFD, her other screen name is Anita Brain
Yeah, your right, Saddam Hussein and Obama husseing are both peace living people and treat there people well...... ask the Kurds how he was..... Now our contry is being destroyed by yet another muslim and we will be suffering more and more each day.....
Come on folks! You know the Zionist regime is itching to hit Iran. How do they know who did this so fast? Did Netanyahu know the bombers personally? How could he figure this out thousands of miles away unless this is a typical Zionist false flag to get the US involved in yet another of the Zionist regime's wars? You dummies believe this nonsense at the peril of the US. This is a Zionist false flag plain and simple.
The US needs to mind it's business, no Americans were killed.
OK, then where is Iran with their denial?
Why bother Cassandra, do you think Israel is going to say, "Okay, we take your word that you weren't involved".
@Johnny Doe (such an ordinary, American-sounding name, LOL), Iran has been involved in a series of similar attacks and foiled attacks against Israelis in foreign countries. Iranian agents were recently arrested in India plotting a bombing, and just days ago again in Cyprus. Google it if you're really interested in the truth.
HM, it is true that Israel might not accept the Iranian government's denial, if it ever made one...but the rest of the world very well might.
johnney, jew haters missed their calling, your nazi pals didn't finish the job in the 40s, that must really have made all like minded jew haters angry.
Time to give Iran the nuke they so desperately want.
I lost all sympathy for Israel when they drove tanks over civilians.
Israels actions have drawn the entire world into this mess. Now we have terrorists everywhere plotting to kill Israeli's, and anyone who supports them. When are people going to ask the question "why are they so mad?" People need to be seriously pissed off to resort to suicide attacks. Even religious nuts..
If the west really wants to end the problem in the Middle East, quit giving Israel a free pass for its actions. They are not the poor victim, and equally guilty of atrocities. Its time to hold all accountable, not just the Arabs.
There will never be peace for any of us, until we do.
And when was that?
Google is your friend...
So, you got..................nothing.
Steve, he may be referring to Rachel Corrie, the American airhead who sat down in front of an Israeli bulldozer, perhaps without realizing that the driver could not see what was in front of him. Everyone there agrees that the driver tried to back up when they shouted for him to stop, which only made matters worse. The real outrage was allowing a Hamas recruiter to speak on her college campus.
Perhaps he is referring to Corrie.
In that case, it wasn't a 'tank' and she wasn't a 'civilian'.
She was a tool for Hamas, a useful idiot.
And she got what she asked for.
So, the poster is following in Corrie's footsteps.
USS Liberty... our ally attacked that warship for hours killing 34, injuring north of 170..... yes, what a good friend....
Freedom
Not to rain on your parade....but do you really think that if Israel was completely out of the picture everything will be hunky dory. WE ARE INFIDELS!!!! GET IT!!! THE EVIL SATAN!!!! You think that if Israel is wiped off the face of the earth Ahmaduchebag will be our BFF and want to friend us on facebook. Boy are you delusional
We need to step back and calm down, do we know for sure it was the IRANIANS, there are lots of terrorist organizations that would love to strike out at the Jews. Is (Israel) and of course the US ready for all out with with the Iranians? This is great for Romney and the Republicans now they can say that if Obama does nothing he is a wimp, if he does do something we can once again be stuck in a Country for 10 years and another couple of Trillion dollars down the drain.
Regardless, Americans weren't attacked. We should mind our business and sit this one out, I for one don't want the US in another war and don't forget that Iran has a very formidable air force, navy and troops, it will not be a cake walk and the repercussions around the world will be great. Sorry that I'm not on the war wagon
I hope the Israelis take this war right to Iran's doorstep.
They can start by taking out Hesb'Allah.
How do you know this was Iran? As long as they do it without American support, no Americans were Killed so we need to mind our business for once.
Reading comprehension issues?
If the Iranians did not do it...why aren't they saying so? And if it was Iranian renegades who were not sent by their government, then why isn't the government hunting them down?
Cassandra, you do not know who did this. Do you Israel is going to say, "Okay, Mr. Iran we take your word that your weren't involved, have a nice day". It doesn't the matter the US is going to fight the long awaited War anyway for Israel and they won't lose a citizen in battle, I bet that will make you very happy.
Actually, Israel and America might very well accept the denial...but even if they did not, a lot of other countries might.
Nuke Mecca, Nuke Iran. Ban the Quran in the USA. Ban all Mosques. Ban all Muslims from the USA. Everytime the Muslims commit a Terrorist attack, then destroy another 100 Mosques. Soon it will stop. Its been going on for far too long. Time to put a stop to it once and for all.
If we did that Jimmy those savages would be burning our cities down, you know how sensitive the Muslims are, I mean they go on a rampage because a stupid book of fairie tales (the Quran) gets destroyed. I agree with you on the part of the Mosques but you know that won't happen here.
Jimmy and the jimmylike person,
Do you know who you are actually against? You take one out, ten will be brought forward to replace one and they will be from among your kind. You plan but God also plan.
The Mossad has killed many people in Iran. I would not put it past Israel to have carried out this attack in order to attack Iran.
finally a guy that favors the US over pissrael
finally a guy that favors the US over pissrael
Once again, Juan...if the Iranians didn't do it, then why aren't they saying so?
Cassandra, please stop it. No one knows who did this at this time, what do you want a signed declaration from the Iranian Embassy saying that they were not involved?
Why yes, HM, that would be nice. They might also add that if the bombing was committed by renegade terrorists, they will do their best to hunt them down.
But it's too early for all that type of information to come out, you cannot rush to judgement, it's easy to start a war but Hell to stop one. Have a little patience, this event is only hours old and you are ordering the troops (US of Course) to attack.
Hey mr tough guy marine you say you dont kill innocent people then you must have been a cook. For every guy with a gun killed in iraq (when they didnt place one on him) 10 women and kids were killed. These guys will make good cops. You want to know where i live tough guy. I am not a little girl sleeping in a bed. That guy that went around killing sleeping women and kids is the norm. Our soldiers are so brave they have to wait until a little girl is sleeping she would be to dangerous awake
Oh, look. Another 'we support the troops' liberal hypocrite.
gabe0304 you are one of them. To your information Israel is one of not many countries in the world who protect its own citizens at any cost. I am US citizen how ever i served in many countries, and believe me i sow the difference. And i hate to say, but because of animals like you this country is going down to drain. If we loose are only ally Israel, and we let them take what they want, next on the map its us. Do i have to remind to you 911. Or may be i should remind you all US citizens life we lost that day. You will be hunted down at any cost. Do not forget that.
you are a traitor giving your allegence to israel. If it wasnt for pissrael there would have been no 9-11 Come and hunt me
Not according to bin Laden. He said that 9-11 was because US troops are in Saudi Arabia, home of Mecca.
But, that won't stop your anti-Semitic tirades...dumbass.
Man, you people will believe anything! Just like many of you believe Iran did the bombings in India, etc.!
israel DID 9/11, and there is actual evidence to support this, unlike the 19 islamic's theory, 7 of which are STILL alive today, and one died before 9/11!
What about Norway that was done by an israeli supporter, and could not have been done by one person?
Ever hear the moto, "By way of deception thou shall do war"?
You want to send your family and friends to fight in yet another FALSE WAR, go ahead, but leave mine and my money out!
Let's not forget what "state" gave us the FALSE INTEL about WMD in Iraq! Remember the never extisting picture of Atta and a member of Sadams gov meeting in Prauge, or yellowcake urainium, and aluminum tubes? DUH!
I swore a NEVER-ENDING Oath to the US Democratic Republic, and the US Constitution/Bill of Rights, not the US government, and Definitely not to israel, who IS NOT our friend nor ally!
Remember The USS Liberty, The Lavon Affair, and many more!
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
You sir are a patriot of the highest order and not a traitor for israel. You would think 50 people from the israeli embassy are posting here it is hard to believe "americans" are this dumb
I agree 100% with Army Dog!
what a bunch of leftist idiots
The stage has been set and the show is on autopilot.
Good Post.
Vet, there is no evidence that Israel committed 911, other than a few wild and incredible stories about Israelis dancing on the top of vans. Where everyone could see them celebrating. Right. And that raving Norwegian lunatic was just that...one nutcase acting alone, just like Timothy McVeigh in America.
@Cassandra
My EDUCATED guess is that you have NEVER seen the East Rutherfor NJ Police Report of the ARREST of "The Dancing israelis"? I have! Not to mention their "confession" on israeli National TV "Our purpose was to document the event"!
I would also guess you did not see the CNN, or CBS news stories about the van packed FULL of explosives trying to blow up the GW Bridge! israeli's again!
I would also guess you have not heard the NY City Police Radio Broadcast of the van that blew up on King St? Again, like the others, israeli's in an Urban Moving Systems van (mossad front operation)
I would also guess you have no idea what it would take to kill all the people that where killed in Norway! No one person COULD do it alone!
I guess you have also not heard that Mc Veigh was NOT alone on that day, second person actually went to back of truck before bomb went off, not Mc Veigh, and a German israeli mossad agent was with him on several occassions, or that the "Milita Camp" Elohim City, he was seen visting was run by a Canadian jew! DUH!
US Army Vet, don't waste your time on Cassandra she has tunnel vision is not open to anyone else's point of view when it comes to Israel.
The Israelis' purpose was to document the event, AV? At last someone is making sense...they wanted to be able to prove what the terrorists had done. And they were probably standing on the van to take their pictures. Thanks, I will quote that...while pointing out that it was said by a rabid anti-zionist.
And Timothy McVeigh DID have an American accomplice, but as for him working with the Mossad...that really is just plain nuts.
@Cassandra
Like always you MISS THE POINT, "The Dancing israeli's were set up to document the event BEFORE any plane hit the towers! Time stamps on picture, etc. PROVE THIS! DUH!
Yes, you do have me right about one thing I AM a RABID anti zionist! I am against ANYTHING that is contrary to world peace!
I also believe The USA should ALWAYS come first, and israeli SHOULD NOT be given millions of our money every single day so they can comitt gencide of the Palestinians! Especially when we can't even take care of our own people right here in the USA!
I also DO NOT forgive the MURDER of Americans by israel in the Lavon affair, USS Liberty, 9/11, Johanthan Pollard Treason, etc., etc!
USA FIRST, ALWAYS!
And prove me wrong about Mc Veigh! See I know you CAN'T because I have done my HOMEWORK! Unlike you, I am not just spouting israeli propaganda to keep that American "Cashcow" flowing!
uka-2327001 would love to meet you. And i can cook. I will cook for you. I am don't think you will like it, but i will try my bast for you.
now that you can serve openly as a faggot i bet you would like to cook for me
I am not a faggot. But i wil make you one.
come and get me faggot i live in warwick ny
Address?
Please.
warwick ny is big state. I don't think i will fined one tough guy in a closet. Don't be shy, lets make it a date.
What happened? Forget your address? Blowing up busses and forget to live your address? How tipical of you. You will always be low life if inocent people will get hurt. And you will always pay for it.
That explains so much...
lmao hahaha this is awesome
uka-2327001-
dude just give him your address. He wants to come over and get on his knees, please you, then go make you dinner. What a nice little girl!
Let the Bulgarians conduct a proper investigation before we start pushing buttons. Iran has been behind terror attacks before, but proof is hard to come by. There is no Department of Terrorism in the Iranian government. It's all decentralized and informal. But let the investigators investigate.
My condolonces to the families affected by this tragedy.
kill them all Israe! kill them all! God is on his chosen people's side. kill them all!!
Kill who? No one even knows who did this, and you sound very religious except for the kill part.
The Islam plague did it, kill the whole bunch.
God wants his chosen people to "kill them all?"
you have to be an inbred demonic jew
ur not one of them pig eaten muslim niggas are ya?
Blame Iran because Israel is looking for any excuse to attack them! I wouldn't
be surprised if they blew up their own bus as a false flag operation! Moussed
is a sneaky group. Their Goal is to attack Iran period. And Drag the USA in to
do their fighting for them as usual. We need to let them handle their own messes.
And we should not sacrifice one more American life for Israel’s agenda! As a Former Marine I know what I know.Stop being so gullible!
Then-why-isn't-Iran-denying-the-accusation?
Then-why-isn't-Iran-denying-the-accusation?
Then-why-isn't-Iran-denying-the-accusation?
In that case, Vic...for the umpteenth time...Then-why-isn't-Iran-denying-the-accusation?
Okay Cassandra, I am a representative of the Iran Government, WE DID NOT BLOW UP THE BUS. There, you have your denial so pick a different angle.
Israel is quick to blame Iran because its an advantageous algorithmic response.
Iran wont deny it because their algorithm says its advantageous given the circumstances.
For example= Blaming Iran is stimulus and you react in a socially accepted way. Which means if it was Iran they have the support needed to retaliate. Iran's position is similar in its manipulation of its supporters.
THANK you, HM. Your official denial makes me hope that it really was not an Iranian government sanctioned attack, so war may still be avoided. However, there is still the other possibility, of renegade Iranian terrorists or their supporters.
Or the possibility that Milk is Blue, let's deal with one issue at a time. I do not want the US stepping into a conflict that goes back centuries because of a blown up bus. No Americans were killed so can you kind of see why we are not lining up and singing battle hymn's?
False flag?
Let the War begin! I'm freakin' bored!
Obviously you have NO IDEA what war is about! Especially when it IS NOT in the US interest's!
WAKE UP!
Remember The USS Liberty, and Lavon Affair among many others!
If you're bored, buy a PlayStation or start a stamp collection. As it is, most wars are 90% boredom occasionally interrupted by 10% absolute terror.
US Army vet, you were probably the one who shot up those Canadian troops in Afg. You were probably the one who blew up that Humvee. You are an idiot, and probably only served in your basement. If you served you would know about friendly fire. 9/11 stop, too many bong hits of agent orange. USS Liberty, was a bad comminication that would never have happened in today's battle. How about all the other spys, cherry picking J. Pollard. If you are truly a Vet, how could you not admire the IDF. Surrounded by hostile enemies, and not surviving, but thriving. Dude, I think your jealous of how tough they are, something you were not, oh among many other feelings, wacko
TPack
Please, the IDF are ONLY good for opressing and MURDERING unarmed peoples, ie; The Palestinians!
Remember Lebenon 2006 when they got their butts KICKED!
Isn't it funny how one UNARMED US Marine (Ken O'Keef) took out 4 armed IDF "soldiers"! Can you say WIMPS!
I have NO respect for the IDF (opression force), and wish a few would personally come see me sometime! I won't "play" nice like Mr. O'Keef did!
Why do I pick out Johanthan Pollard? Because his treason for israel led directly to the death of 1,500 Americans! DUH!
And the attack on the USS LIberty was DELIBERATE, so says Sec. of State Dean Rusk, Head of the Joint Chief of Staff Admiral Moorer, Phil Tourney USS Liberty Survivor, and MANY more!
Can't you SHILLS think of some BETTER insults for me?
Go peddle your crap elswhere "israeli firster"!
OK Vet(Sure you are) I'll take the bait. Israel, tiny country, surrounded by, well your a Vet so ya know, So in 67 a bunch of countires come and attack, oh you know what happened there, since you know it all. Yom Kipper, oh they kicked their butts too. Lebanon, oh the leader of Hezballah. Nerrallah, where is he hiding behind his mothers skirt. Israel could have pummled Lebanon, but choose not to, and lost troops trying not to kill innocent civi's. Hezballoh hid behind women and children, cause their pussies. yeah Israel got their butt kicked. yeah your an Army vet. good try. Dude, if Im a shill for Israel, your a shill for Hezballah. I know which side I'd rather be on..Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane..it's a Mr. Boom Boom
TPack
There you go spouting israeli BS propaganda again!
israel attacked Egypt FIRST in 1967 (FACT), and it attacked Syria six (6) hours AFTER a UN Cease Fire was established which led to it taking the Golon Heights (FACT)! DUH!
And israel got it's butt handed to it in 2006 in Lebanon (FACT)!
And your TOTALLY wrong about me, the ONLY side I am on is the American side, and israel IS NOT a friend nor ally, PERIOD!
We have had NOTHING but BS since this UNHOLY union with the ILLEGAL "state of israel"!
If you are American, just remember your stance here when TSHTF in the USA shortly, because WE WON'T FORGET IT! TREASON IS TREASON!
It is highly UNLIKELY that direct agents of the Iranian government did this...or even
planned this due to the KNOWN ability of Israel to strike back fast and hard!
It would most likely in the end to have been a loosely organized action
at the very least sanctioned by a regionally-based proxy group such as Hezbollah (or others).
Of course we can't exactly shake or discount the fact that there are MANY
"Lone Gunman" types who channel their internal rage into acting on behalf
of (but without the official sanction of) a larger aggrieved group.
I highly suspect it will be found that the suspect is a young male or female
18 to 25 years old mostly acting on their own or in a small group of other
like-minded youth who are unemployed and have been in Bulgaria for
some time (1 to 2 years).
When the eventually-found neighbours are interviewed, it will also be
likely found that he/she (or they) worked menial jobs in local shops
or delivery and were just not able to fit into the local neighbourhood
in any meaningful manner due to a likely disdain or outright racism,
discrimination and/or hardened attitude AGAINST these youth.
(i.e. Ausländer Syndrome)
Ergo...the internal rage builds at even the slightest perceived
societal slights and then the inevitable desire/actions to
strike back at the "greater society" or ITS proxies.
In this case I suspect that the individual(s) responsible will
have SOME connection with a locally-reviled foreign religious
icon or a neighbourhood fire-brand who will be found to have
"connections" to some terrorist-like organization.
Basically, they will have been "used" by higher ups
to further a greater political cause.
---
If this sounds like an episode of the American TV show
"Criminal Minds", it's because IT IS! Cliches and patterns
USUALLY have SOME TINY element of truth to them and
this bombing DOES fit the general pattern of other such
terrorist-like acts by an aggrieved party of "foreign" youth.
TV writers DO read the news, which often describes groups like this. However, if they thought they were acting on Iran's behalf, then my question still remains...why hasn't Iran denied any responsibility for the crime?
Israel is quick to blame Iran because its an advantageous algorithmic response.
Iran wont deny it because their algorithm says its advantageous given the circumstances.
For example= Blaming Iran is stimulus and you react in a socially accepted way. Which means if it was Iran they have the support needed to retaliate. Iran's position is similar in its manipulation of its supporters.
And for those who wonder at Iran's non-response, I will suggest to you
that they are clueless as to who or what performed this terrorist act.
I highly doubt that the higher ups even KNOW about this act yet!
And if they do, for political expedience, they'll probably just
keep quiet making no comments other than a quietly mouthed
Farsi version of "Allahu Akbar".
And I should ALSO NOTE, the majority Iranian population is
anthropologically INDIC (i.e. from Northern India) rather
than Semetic (from the Arabian peninsula) so this is really
not a united Arab grouping against "The West".
Iran (Persia) has ALWAYS done the opposite of its
more Arabic neighbours and thus like to keep to themselves
since they really don't have all that much in common ethnically
or sociologically with the Arabic middle eastern populations.
Again, we will find out with a few days the likely youthful firebrand
group that pretty much did this on their own without official sanction
from any large state actor. The only likely tie will be a local leader-like
person who has upper-level connections for obtaining the Weapons and
maybe some localized training for organizing and performing this
terrorist bombing.
---
On a separate note, one thing I REALLY ADMIRE about the USA
(I'm Canadian!) is that if ANY group or state actor even THINKS
about attacking the U.S. Homeland, that group had BETTER BE
PREPARED to endure a HELL-FIRE of a response to any terrorist action.
Those state or local actors WILL be hunted down and brought to justice.
And UNLIKE OTHERS, the USA has the MILITARY MIGHT and PROVEN
DESIRE TO GO AFTER THOSE RESPONSIBLE, NO MATTER HOW LONG
IT TAKES!!!
And to illustrate my next point EXTREMELY CLEARLY, the USA is currently under an EXTREME AMOUNT of financial and political stress,
with its general population pretty much raging into an ANGRY FROTH
by the currently SEVERE economic conditions...and to make sure you
get this...DON'T POKE THIS LION IN THE EYE....!!!!
America is not some pea-shooting lazy-*** sloth of a country.
IT'S a WILD BEAST...With a highly trained, POWERFUL MILITARY
run by an ANGRY MOB that are eagerly frothing at the mouth for
a good and bloody fight!!!! And any country that has 280 Million Guns
in its possession and a gross murder rate higher than almost all
countries combined IS NOT an entity that should be trifled
with....AMERICA WILL TAKE THE FIGHT TO YOU!!!!!
ERGO...poke the beast and it will TEAR YOU TO SHREDS
with its very big teeth and ultra sharp claws!
Hay mr tough guy. Where are you?
i am in warwick ny come and hunt me
Hunt you? I am not a terrorist like you. I don't hunt. I clean.
you are not a marine you are a jew sitting in tel aviv and your job is to brainwash stupid americans to do pissraels fighting. When you called me a terrorist i knew you are a jew in pissrael. What the dumb "americans" here do not understand is jews hate everyone that is not a jew and after they get us to get rid of the muslims we will be next. Ask the 60 million Russian Christians they killed
If i have to hunt you, it means you are a animal. And you calling me a faggot?
I am not a jew. I am Christian. You animal killing not only jews. US citizens, christians, your own people. 60 million Russians for your information in the WW2 lost 20 million people to Nazi like you. Please do not test my intelligence. You are dumb as it gets.
