The Reuters website reports that at least seven people -- believed to be Israelis -- were killed and over 20 injured today (July 18, 2012) by an explosion on a bus in Bulgaria that was carrying Israeli tourists outside the airport of the coastal city of Burgas.
Police said several other buses at the site -- on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast -- had been damaged.
An Israeli witness told Israeli army radio that the explosion was probably caused by a suicide bomber at the entrance of the bus.
Israeli officials had previously said that Bulgaria -- a popular holiday destination for Israeli tourists -- was vulnerable to attack by Islamist militants who could infiltrate via neighboring Turkey.
