U.S. urges Europe to take "proactive action" against Hezbollah

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) 
-- 
The United States on Tuesday urged Europe to take "proactive action" against Lebanon's Hezbollah after Bulgaria linked the group with a July 2012 blast in the country.
In a written statement, John Brennan, the White House counterterrorism advisor for President Barack Obama, called on Europe to take "proactive action" to target Hezbollah's infrastructure, financing and operational networks.
The statement came after the Bulgarian government said earlier in the day that two individuals with links to the Lebanese militant group were involved in the bombing at the Burgas Airport, which killed five Israeli tourists, their Bulgarian driver and the suicide bomber.
Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said that the two suspects, with Canadian and Australian passports, had been living in Lebanon since 2006 and 2010, respectively.
