Analysts are positively comparing the political resolve shown by Bulgarian officials – who yesterday announced that they had discovered links between Hezbollah and the July 2012 bombing of a tourist bus in Burgas, Bulgaria – with recent Argentinean moves that have been criticized for papering over Iran-backed terrorism. Buenos Aires has recently established a joint “truth commission” with Tehran that is charged with investigating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in the capital city, and which has been criticized as a pretext for covering up the widely assumed Iranian orchestration of the attack. The State Department has expressed pointed “skepticism” regarding the Argentinean decision. When asked about Bulgaria in a Tuesday briefing, in contrast, State Department Spokesperson Victoria Nuland emphasized the “extremely professional investigation done by the Government of Bulgaria” and expressed hope that the “clear evidence of Hezbollah operation on European soil” would galvanize the E.U. toward formally designating the group a terrorist entity. The Burgas bombing killed a Bulgarian and five Israelis.
