Monday's trial over a deadly 2012 bombing attack against Israeli tourists in Bulgaria has been pushed back to November because a court in Sofia had failed to inform the victims' families of the start date, prosecutors told Agence France Presse on Monday. A Franco-Lebanese national, identified as Mohamad Hassan El-Husseini, blew up a bus carrying Israeli tourists at the airport of the Black Sea coast resort of Burgas on July 18, 2012, killing himself, five Israelis and their Bulgarian driver. 35 other Israelis were injured.
Bulgarian authorities identified the attacker's alleged accomplices as two Lebanese men with links to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, named as Australian passport holder Meliad Farah and Canadian citizen Hassan El Hajj Hassan. They will be tried in absentia, when the trial starts on November 10.
