(Reuters) The man who blew up a bus in a Bulgarian Black Sea resort two years ago, killing five Israeli tourists as well as himself, has been identified as a dual Lebanese-French citizen, Bulgaria's security agency and prosecutors' office said Friday. "The perpetrator, who used a fake driving license under the name Jacques Felipe Martin, [was] in reality Mohammad Hasan al-Husseini," born in Lebanon in 1989, and had two accomplices, also of Lebanese origin." The two other suspects are Meliad Farah, 32, also known as Hussein Hussein, an Australian citizen, and Hasan al-Hajj Hasan, 25, a Canadian citizen.
