Published: 20/07/2012

AN IMAGE has been released of a man suspected of blowing up a bus in Bulgaria.

The man – dressed in a Bermuda shorts and a baseball cap – was caught on camera checking the arrivals board at Burgas airport.

Just minutes later the suspect and six others were killed when a blast ripped through a bus filled with Israeli tourists.

Authorities are now searching for clues to the identity of the man, who had been carrying a bulky backpack before the incident.

And it’s claimed he had been carrying a fake Michigan driving licence.

Israel has been quick to blame Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah for the attack.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the bombing “was carried out by Hezbollah, the long arm of Iran”. But Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast called the accusation “baseless”.
