It is clear that the one constant of terrorism is that Jews around the world remain a favoured target, the Canada-based Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs has commented in the aftermath of Wednesday's terror attack in Bulgaria.

Initial reports said a number of Israelis were dead and wounded in the explosion which hit their bus at the Sarafovo Airport near Bulgaria's Black Sea city of Burgas at about 5:30 pm EET.

The Bulgarian authorities have confirmed there are casualties but have not confirmed their number.

In response, David Koschitzky, Chair of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, made the following statement:

"We offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and our prayers for a full recovery for all those maimed in this brazen attack.

"It is important to note that today marks the anniversary of the notorious 1994 attack on a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires - the worst bombing in Argentina's history. Combined with the upcoming 40th anniversary of the Munich massacre, it is clear that the one constant of terrorism is that Jews around the world remain a favoured target. We are hopeful that authorities will be successful in their pursuit of those responsible for today's attack, and demonstrate that terrorists and their overseers will face justice - not impunity - for such atrocities."
