Bulgarian broadcaster bTV reports that 1.6 million euros connected to the deadly exploding pagers attack in Lebanon passed through Bulgaria and were transferred on to Hungary. It cites sources at the State Agency for National Security.
Bulgarian authorities said that their interior ministry and state security services had opened an investigation into a company’s possible ties. They did not name the company they were investigating. Local media reports say Sofia-based Norta Global Ltd had facilitated the sale of the pagers to Hezbollah.
