Today, Monday, begins the trial of two Hezbollah militants accused of participating in the 2012 attacks in Bulgaria.

A report in “Newsweek” magazine stated that the Bulgarian government investigation cited conclusive evidence that Hezbollah provided logistical and financial support to the accused, and that ammonium nitrate was used in the attack.

The issue of the Beirut port explosion not only overshadowed Lebanon, but its repercussions diverged to reach the European continent, after Hezbollah’s involvement in storing huge amounts of explosive materials opened our eyes to review a number of terrorist activities carried out by militias abroad, and ammonium nitrate was the proof.

In Bulgaria, eight years after the Sarafavu airport explosion targeting a tour bus, the two people involved, Milad Farah and Hassan Hajj Hassan, will be tried in absentia on Monday.

The report in the US magazine “Newsweek” made it clear that the investigation carried out by the Bulgarian government provides conclusive evidence that Hezbollah’s external security unit provided logistical and financial support to those involved in the attack.

According to investigators, the materials used in the attack were associated with bombs stored by militias in Cyprus, the main component of which was ammonium nitrate. They are also the same materials that the militias used in the 1994 attack in Argentina that killed 85 people.

While awaiting the date of the trial, something similar to what happened in the International Tribunal for the murder of Hariri, which convicted members of Hezbollah without condemning the militias themselves, the question arises: Will what happened in The Hague be repeated in the Bulgarian Special Court?

Sophia’s position differs from the rest of the European Union, at a time when it has already put in place a mechanism to classify Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, European countries, including France, see that banning Hezbollah militias would destabilize Lebanon. and it would undermine opportunities for diplomatic communication with your government.
