They found only his head and limbs after the July 18 attack, suggesting the bomb had probably been attached to his torso.They were unable to match fingerprints or DNA samples taken from the bomber with anything in international databases.Last week, a Bulgarian website, bivol.bg, published the first pictures of the suspects face after he was killed.They showed a rather ravaged face, but one of the pathologists who carried out the autopsy, Kosio Yankov, confirmed the pictures were authenticYankov told the daily 24 Tchassa that the mans eyes were between brown and green.Galina Mileva, another pathologist who examined the attackers remains, had earlier put his age at between 25 and 30-something and said the bomber had fair skin but could have been of Arab origin.The attack at Burgas airport, the first of its kind on Bulgarian soil, killed five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian driver and injured around 30 people.Israel has blamed Iran and its Lebanese terrorist proxy Hezbollah, but Tehran has denied any involvement.
