“Thank God I switched cars at the last minute! Thank God nobody got killed! I am worried about the children, they got really scared,” said Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev for the website epicenter.bg after yesterday’s roadside explosion.  He was travelling with his wife and children from Samokov bound for Sofia on 1 May when at midday, a bomb went off as his motorcade was passing.

Prosecutor’s office spokesperson Siika Mileva stated that Ivan Geshev has not and will not make any official statement on the matter.
