SOFIA - Bulgarian police were working flat out Friday with the FBI and Interpol to try and identify a suicide bomber who killed six people including five Israeli tourists and piece together his final movements.
Investigators have released CCTV footage of the man they believe carried out Wednesday's attack in the Black Sea airport of Borgas on a bus carrying Israeli holiday-makers, which also claimed the life of the Bulgarian driver.
Early on Friday five coffins draped in Israeli flags were taken off a military plane at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv watched by mourning relatives.
The victims were due to be buried later in the day.
They were named as Kochava Shriki, 44, who was pregnant, and Yitzhik Kolengi, Amir Menashe, Elior Priess, and Maor Harush, all in their 20s. More than 30 people were also injured, three of them seriously.
Airport video footage released by Bulgarian authorities showed an apparently white male with long hair dressed in typical holiday gear - shorts, a baseball cap, sneakers - and carrying a backpack and a laptop bag.
Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said the man, who was shown wandering around the airport, looked around 26 years old. He was carrying a fake driving licence from the US state of Michigan.
Investigators have taken fingerprints from the bomber's body and are trying to find a DNA match.
