The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the Commission issued the following statement today:

"I was appalled to hear of this afternoon's apparent terrorist attack on Israeli tourists arriving in Bulgaria.

I am deeply shocked by the scenes at Bourgas airport, where what should have been the beginning of a happy holiday ended in murder.

I send my condolences to the families of all those killed. Many more have been injured. We wish them a speedy recovery.

The EU utterly condemns all acts of terrorism, wherever they take place. The terrorists who planned and carried out this attack must be brought to justice."
