The news site EUobserver conveyed this morning a new Europol report that seems to confirm that the joint police body has adopted the findings of Bulgarian investigators linking the Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah to the July 2012 Burgas bus bombing that killed five Israelis and a Bulgarian.

The announcement comes on the same day that Bulgarian authorities conducted a reenactment of the bombing with an eye on piling on more evidence:

Dummies were placed inside and around the buses with maximum precision, following thorough examinations of security cameras and witness accounts, it was reported. Boyko Naydenov, head of the National Investigating Service, told the Focus news agency that the re-enactment is meant to give answers to several questions, such as where the terrorist was standing and how much explosive material was used for the attack… The reenactment took place in the town of Ihtiman, which is located mid-way between the capital Sofia and the second largest city of Plovdiv. One of the two buses was detonated by experts with the Specialized Directorate for Operational and Technical Operations and experts with the National Investigating Service.

The Burgas bombing is one of several terror plots conducted on European Union soil to which Hezbollah and its Iranian sponsors have been linked. A confessed Hezbollah operative was recently convicted of conducting terror-related activities in Cyprus of the same sort and around the same time as the Burgas bombers. Just this week news broke that last summer Bulgarian authorities arrested an Iranian agent who was conducting surveillance on a Jewish center in Sofia.

The evidence of multiple Hezbollah plots has generated enormous pressure on the E.U. to formally blacklist Hezbollah as a terror group.

France and Germany have resisted designating the organization. Paris reportedly fears retaliation against French troops stationed in southern Lebanon and Berlin may be loath to antagonize the almost 1,000 Hezbollah personnel known to be operating inside Germany.

Europol’s adoption of the Bulgaria findings — which linked several suspects in the bombing to Hezbollah — will heighten pressure for the Germans, French, and others to drop objections to designating the organization. Even before the confirmation, European officials had hinted that they might be forced to acknowledge that a group that conducts terrorism on E.U. soil should for the purposes of the E.U. be considered a terror group.
