l Operational data shows that it imported 58 kilograms
first aid kits from which ammonium nitrate was extracted
l A witness in a case in the United States named Husseini, who
exploded in a terrorist attack as a member of Hezbollah
l His aides received life in prison without parole
A young Bulgarian of Lebanese origin helped the bombers from the Sarafovo airport, according to operational data from the intelligence services, 24 Chasa has learned.
The name of Balasam-Alexander el-Munem Hoteit, born in the early 1990s, became clear for the first time 8 years after the terrorist act in which 5 Israeli tourists and the Bulgarian driver Mustafa Kyosov were killed. Almost 40 other people were injured. A total of 186 people were injured in the attack.
On Monday, the specialized court sentenced Meliad Farah and Hassan al-Haj Hassan to the most severe sentence: life imprisonment without parole. (For record judgments and compensation, see below) According to the indictment, they assisted the suicide bomber Mohammad Hassan al-Husseini. Farah, who is Lebanese with an Australian passport, and El Haj Hassan, who has a Canadian passport, have been declared wanted by Interpol in a red bulletin.
The terrorist act, which drowned the Burgas airport in blood, took place shortly after 5 pm on July 18, 2012. According to Israeli services, the military wing of the Hezbollah organization is behind it. The lawyer for the injured Israelis, Yakov Rand, even asked in an emotional pleading last Thursday that the Bulgarian court indict (probably doomed – br) Hezbollah. However, according to our law, guilt is personal and personal and organizations cannot be prosecuted.
A witness in the United States questioned in another case also insisted that
the physical
perpetrator of
the attack
in Sarafovo,
that is, Husseini,
It is part of
Hezbollah
There is evidence in the case that the kamikaze’s father, who is of Franco-Lebanese origin, financed the organization’s military wing, was made clear in the statement by prosecutor Evgenia Shtarkelova on Thursday.
But what is the role of Balasam-Alexander Hoteit? You have no charges in the case. The data about it are operational, collected by the services. The young man had a Bulgarian and Lebanese passport. He left the country on June 18, 2012, 30 days before the attack. According to intelligence, he was a member of Hezbollah’s foreign security organization.
A SANS inspection shows that his last registered entry to the border control system was on June 18, 2012. Hoteit did not reside permanently in our country before, he lived in the Lebanese city of Seida. However, the young man arrived in the country in the winter of 2011 to 2012. Then, the Bulgarian authorities received operational information about an imminent terrorist attack. That is why it was a legal and constant analysis of the people who enter and leave our country and meet a certain profile.
At the end of 2011, Hoteit imported car first aid kits containing refrigeration packs into Bulgaria. On December 27, 2011, he was declared an importer of “plastic first aid kits for automobiles – samples” at the Sofia airport customs. The sender was Falcon Trading Limited, imported from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The shipment was received on December 30, 2011 personally by Hoteit.
It contained a total of 58 kilograms of first aid kits, 40 made in China. They were declared as samples that were not intended for sale.
Each package
content
160 grams
ammonium
compound
The improvised explosive device consisted of 3 kg equivalent of TNT, ammonium nitrate, gas cylinder and radio transmitters, brand WEIERWEI-VEV -3288.
Ammonium nitrate was extracted from used refrigerants, which are an accessory in first aid kits.
Falcon Trading Limited was registered in the United Arab Emirates. The special services did not establish that it had any other activity than the shipment of plastic first aid kits for automobiles.
Hezbollah used to use ammonium nitrate to make improvised explosive devices, as evidenced by its member arrested in May 2015 in Cyprus. The arrested Basam Hussein Abdullah, a citizen of Lebanon and Canada,
kept a warehouse,
in which there was
8.2 tons of ammonia
nitrate
Part of it was taken from first aid kits.
Abdullah himself admitted during interrogations that he was involved in Hezbollah.
The three terrorists who carried out the attack in our country are associated with Hezbollah not only because of their Shiite origin, but also because of their family ties with members of the organization.
The other connection is the printer on which the fake driver’s licenses are printed. He was stationed in Lebanon and linked to Hezbollah. Husseini’s driver’s license was issued in the name of Jacques Philippe Martin, Farah in the name of Brian Jamieson and El Haj Hassan in the name of Ralph Rico.
During the period 2010-2012, there were many prevented attacks against Israeli targets around the world: India, Azerbaijan, South Africa, local and Israeli services found. In late 2011, the Bulgarian media reported that an attack in Bulgaria had also been prevented. There is no official confirmation.
About a week before the attack in Sarafovo, however, one in Cyprus was also avoided, and the detainee said he was conducting an operation to monitor possible targets. Israel has openly stated over the years that Hezbollah is behind planned assassination attempts against its citizens.
The mother of the deceased
driver: no phrases
to return my son
Record profits – more
100 million BGN for victims and
relatives of those killed in the explosion
Whatever the sentences, my son will not be returned. This was said through tears by Salihe Kyosova, mother of the driver Mustafa Kyosov, who was killed in the attack in Sarafovo. On Monday, a specialized court sentenced Meliad Farah and Hassan al-Haj Hassan to life imprisonment in absentia. They helped the assassin, Mohammad Hassan al-Husseini. None of the relatives of the victims and the injured Israelis and Bulgarians were in the courtroom. Saliha Kyosova didn’t come either.
A total of more than BGN 100 million is the compensation that the five-member court chaired by Adelina Ivanova awarded to the victims. The sums for the families of the victims range from 3 to 10 million lev, which is a record for Bulgaria.
BGN 560 thousand is compensation for Mustafa Kyosov’s relatives and BGN 100 thousand for the guide Danka Ivanova.
“He left at 36, left the boy, his wife and left us alone. Nothing will bring him back, no matter what the phrases are,” Mustafa’s mother added and refused to speak further.
“They were condemned, but they are gone. The job of justice is to condemn them, but the world will not forgive and my son will not return. Everything is gone. These two are gone, they cannot find them, the world is great”, said Mustafa’s father, Ahmed. He insists that time doesn’t heal pain, but it “makes it worse.” During the last 8 years, he became ill and his health completely collapsed. Years ago, he built a stone fountain next to the bus stop near his hometown of Yurukovo, so as not to forget how his son died.
According to Ivelin Dimitrov, lawyer for the injured tour guide Danka Ivanova, “the sentence is declaratory.”
Janet Zhelyazkova, official advocate for El Haj Hassan, said she had not yet decided whether to appeal the sentence.
Prosecutor Evgenia Shtarkelova commented that it was an expected sentence.
