"Lebanon tursts that Bulgarian authorities will conduct a thorough assesment of the investigation's results and reiterates its readiness to cooperate with Bulgaria to shed light on the circumstances," stated the Lebanese PM.

According to Bulgarian Minister of Interior Tsvetan Tsvetanov, two of the attack's perpetrators had previously resided in Lebanon, an probably acted as part of Hezbollah's military wing.

Tsvetanov had also said that he hoped for full cooperation in the investigation on the part of the Lebanese government.

Some countries view Hezbollah and its military wing as two separate entities, classifying only the latter as a terrorist group.
