Of course the useful idiots will still think Iran is never the aggressor.
Tsvetanov's word choice was somewhat less categorical than what most foreign media are suggesting it was. While he said that it was certain that the terrorists were person who had lived in Lebanon and had Canadian or Australian citizenship, but that they were connected with Hezbollah was a "justified assumption". Of course, that's most likely true, but obviously more information would be needed to prove it for certain. The minister also stressed Bulgaria's good relations with Lebanon, hoping that they would cooperate on the investigation. With Hezbollah so influential in Lebanon, not likely to happen, though of course convicting the perpetrators in court was never the important part...

The newly elected Bulgarian foreign minister Kristian Vigenin has stated that the evidence linking Hezbollah to the bombings is not as conclusive as the previous government had claimed. Note that the opposition (of which Vigenin was then a member) sharply criticized the decision of the government to announce a connection without direct evidence.
This might be important as the EU is still debating whether to blacklist Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
