Not something that is likely to affect your average holidaymaker...............unless you are involved in Bulgarian organised crime!

According to the Bulgarian 'Standart' newspaper:

I wasn't suggesting it would affect anyones holiday, just wouldnt have liked to have been in the restraunt at the time.

still sad all the same

He also owned several hotels in the area. I know it didnt affect any holidaymakers(this time) but with the amount of shootings, car bombs im sure holiday makers will be in the wrong place sooner or later. I read on the BBC news site a few months ago that a child(British or German, cant remember now) got caught up in a car bomb and was killed. Lets hope the Bulgarian goverment sort it out like they say they are going to do.

To get this into perspective, a look at newspapers, teletext and ceefax over the last few days might indicate it is more dangerous to stay in the UK!!
