An investigator in the deadly July bombing in Burgas was dismissed
for leaking classified information to the media.
The Prosecutor's Office dismissed Staneliva Karadzhova after she
provided information about the latest developments in the probe of the
July 18 attack, the Bulgarian news agency Novinite reported. Five
Israelis and a Bulgarian were killed in the attack at the seaside
resort.
Karadzhova reportedly was dismissed on Jan. 3, the same day she told a
local newspaper that Bulgaria’s security services had identified one of
the perpetrators of the bombing. The suspect was not named.
The Office of the District Prosecutor in Burgas said in a statement
issued Monday that Karadzhova was dismissed because "she spoke to the
media without clearing her statement with the supervising prosecutor,"
The Associated Press reported.
American and Israeli intelligence officials attribute the suicide
bombing to a joint Hezbollah-Iran operation.
The bomber used the alias Jacque Felipe Martin; an accomplice was
known as Ralph Willima Rico. Neither suspect's true identity has been
discovered, according to Novinite.
Martin, Rico and the third accomplice, whose actual identity was
discovered, all used fake U.S. identification documents from the state
of Michigan.
The blast occurred on a bus soon after a charter plane, Air Bulgaria
Flight 392 from Ben-Gurion Airport in Israel, landed at Burgas Airport.
The bus was the second of four carrying Israeli tourists from the
airport to hotels in the city.
