Israel Vows Justice Day after Claim Hizbullah Behind Bulgaria Blast
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told relatives of victims of last year's attack on Israeli tourists in Bulgaria that those responsible for the killings "will pay the price."
Netanyahu's office said Wednesday in a statement that the head of Israel's counterterrorism bureau told the victims' families in his name that "Israel will do everything so that those responsible for the crime will pay the price."
The office did not elaborate.
The promise comes a day after a Bulgarian probe claimed that Hizbullah was behind the July 2012 bombing that targeted a bus carrying Israeli tourists at Burgas airport.
Five Israelis and the Bulgarian driver were killed in the attack. As a result, some countries called on the European Union to designate the group as a terrorist organization.
Netanyahu said Tuesday the Bulgarian finding should push the EU to draw the "necessary conclusions" about the group, hinting it should be placed on a terror watch list.
"The attack in Burgas was an attack on European soil, against a member state of the European Union," Netanyahu said in a statement. "We hope that the Europeans will draw the necessary conclusions about the true nature of Hizbullah."

why we all get sad when an act of terrorism occurs and people are murdered, Israel seems to drool at the prospect of yet another casus belli towards their revenge driven raison d'etre. Maybe israel should show some sort of sadness before jumping up and down and saying, "see? see? we be killing back anytime now!!!!"

Kanaan- I wouldn't go that far as to blame the Shia. Shia are Lebanses and above all human beings too. some are bad and some are good as is the case with every sect in Lebanon and around the world. At the end of the day we are all individuals responsible for our actions and should be held accountable for our actions only. We cannot fall into the trap of racial profiling and labeling an entire sect based the actions of some. Lebanon belongs to all of us and we have to find common ground and find a way to respect everyone's rights.
