According to a Reuter's report, a bomb wrecked two of the cars belonging to the controversial Bulgarian conglomerate Multigroup on the road between Sofia and Bistritsa (where the company has a hotel). One of the cars was Ilia Pavlov's armoured BMW, but he apparently was not in the car. No one was hurt.
