The terrorists who killed five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver in the city of Burgas last year enter Bulgaria with their real IDs, the country's Interior Minister confirmed Friday.
Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov clarified that they used fake documents during their stay in the country.
Tsvetanov added that authorities have tracked the terrorists' actions from the moment they entered Europe.
The terrorists have also been tracked from the moment they left Bulgaria and headed towards Lebanon, he said.
On Thursday, the Bulgarian Interior Minister said that Bulgarian investigators had "a well-founded assumption" that the perpetrators of the deadly attack belonged to the military formation of Hezbollah.
