SOFIA, Bulgaria — Bulgaria will brief other EU nations on the results of the probe that linked the Shiite group Hezbollah to last year's bus bombing that killed five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian driver, Bulgaria's foreign minister said Sunday. The findings, announced on Tuesday, brought renewed pressure on the European Union from the US, Israel and Canada to designate the group a terrorist organization and to crack down on its fundraising operations across Europe. Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov said that in the Feb. 18 meeting of EU foreign ministers Bulgaria's position will be made clear, and that the EU should also send a clear message to Hezbollah. Meanwhile, Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said he will travel on Tuesday to The Hague, Netherlands, where “additional measures will be planned together with Europol director Rob Wainwright to investigate the Burgas terror act on EU territory.” Tsvetanov said that the US, Canada, Australia and Israel are helping in the probe. He said two of the suspects had been living in Lebanon for years — one with a Canadian passport and the other with an Australian one. — AP
