Specialized court does not launch Burgas bomb attack trial

One more time, the specialized criminal court is not proceeding with the trial for the bomb attack at Sarafovo airport in Burgas, which killed five tourists from Israel and one Bulgarian national and injured 38 in July 2012.

Some of the casualties have not been duly summoned, others have not been found at the addresses in Bulgaria given, still others have not been found in Israel. The people who stand accused of aiding and abetting suicide bomber Mohammed Hassan El-Husseini are Meliad Farah – with Australian and Lebanese citizenship -  and Hassan El Hajj Hassan – with Canadian and Lebanese citizenship. The next court hearing will be at the end of May.
