EU Commissioner for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmstrom, has issued a statement condemning the terror attack against Israeli tourists in Bulgaria's Black Sea city of Burgas.

A bus carrying Israeli tourists exploded Wednesday afternoon at the airport of the Bulgarian resort city, killing at least seven people and wounding more than 32.

"Our thoughts go to victims, their families and beloved ones in Bulgaria and in Israel," the statement says.

Malmstrom contacted her Bulgarian counterpart last night to offer the support of the European Commission. Europol also stands ready to assist Bulgarian authorities in its investigations if requested.

"The European Commission reiterates its strong commitment to stand beside EU Member States in fighting against these barbaric acts and in bringing the perpetrators to justice."
