Bulgaria Bomber Was A Caucasian Dressed Like A Tourist With A Fake Michigan License

The bombing of a coach carrying Israeli tourists was carried out by male suicide bomber with fake US identity documents, officials confirm.

The bomber, killed in the attack, was a young man with long hair who was described as a "caucasian" looking like any other tourist.

He was caught on CCTV walking around the airport dressed in sportswear, shorts and carrying a backpack before carrying out the attack on a coach load of Israeli tourists at the airport in the quiet Black Sea resort city of Burgas, some 400 kilometers (250 miles) east of the capital, Sofia.

The death toll was raised to at least eight after the Bulgarian driver of the bus died in hospital overnight. The other six victims were Israeli citizens and the suspected bomber died in the attack, Bulgaria's Interior minister said on Thursday morning.
