JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's prime minister has blamed the Iranian-backed Hezbollah guerrilla group for a deadly attack against Israelis in Bulgaria.

Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Iran and its protégé Hezbollah have been carrying out a "global terror campaign" for more than a year that has targeted Israeli and others.

He says the Islamic militant group carried out the suicide attack that killed five Israelis and the Bulgarian driver Wednesday in Burgas, Bulgaria.
