“We expect the organizers of the act of terror in Damascus to be identified and for them to face their deserved punishment.”-Russian Foreign Ministry statement

“An explosion occurred in a passenger’s bus with Israeli citizens at the Burgas Airport.”-Dimitar Nikoliv, Mayor of Burgas, Bulgaria
18 July 2012, there are reports that Ehud Barak, the Minister of Defense for Israel, just finished an hours long emergency meeting with IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) top brass.
This after two explosions, one that assassinated the top Syrian defense official, and the other which killed at least three Israelis, and wounded 20, on a bus in Bulgaria!
Prior to the attack on the Bulgarian airport shuttle bus carrying Israeli passengers, IDF officials praised the assassination of Syrian officials, rating it “…a 7 on the Richter scale!”
Witnesses to the Bulgarian bus explosion say the entire bus went up in flames.
Russia and China have stated they will veto any new UN Security Council resolutions against Syria.
