U.S. to EU: Crack Down on Hizbullah

(U.S. State Department) Responding to the Bulgarian announcement on Hizbullah's role in the Burgas attack, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday: "The United States commends our close friend and NATO ally Bulgaria for its thorough and professional investigation into the July 18, 2012, Burgas terrorist attack. The finding is clear and unequivocal: Lebanese Hizbullah was responsible for this deadly assault on European soil." "The United States is acting decisively and comprehensively to curtail Hizbullah's destabilizing actions in Europe, Southeast Asia, South America, and the Middle East, and we are prepared to do all within our power to assist the Government of Bulgaria in bringing those responsible for the Burgas attack to justice." "We strongly urge other governments around the world - and particularly our partners in Europe - to take immediate action to crack down on Hizbullah. We need to send an unequivocal message to this terrorist group that it can no longer engage in despicable actions with impunity."
