Canadian, Australian are linked to Bulgarian bomb

SOFIA, Bulgaria - Bulgarian officials say a Canadian and an Australian are suspects in a deadly bomb attack they say is linked to Lebanon's militant group Hezbollah.

Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsevtnov says two of the suspects in the attack that killed five Israeli tourists last July had entered the country with an Australian and a Canadian passport.

He says "we have established that the two were members of the militant link of Hezbollah."

Speaking after a meeting of the country's National Security Council, the minister said Bulgaria expects "the government of Lebanon to assist" in the investigation.

Authorities also said that evidence in the bombing pointed back to Lebanon and to the Islamist militant group Hezbollah.

Hezbollah has denied involvement.
