OK guys welcome back we have some breaking news to report to you right now -- it appears that a bus carrying Israeli youth.
It a Bulgarian resort city exploded.
This is happening now killing three people and wounding at least twenty people according to police.
The witnesses told Israeli media that the huge blast occurred soon after.
Someone boarded the vehicle.
More insight.
We're gonna turn now to our hit list joining -- -- -- -- bill Daley's former FBI officers senior vice president.
Control risks and Tom Ruskin former NYPD detective and presidency and he -- Good to see both of -- here you know listen when we read what when we hear these sorts of things this is happening in Bulgaria but.
Anything until we hear this sort of stuff we we think about.
You know security concerns of any Americans traveling overseas.
And 81 of the things I think that people really what I know it's sort of a broad question but -- out there how safe are we.
Post September 2011.
-- -- 2000.
One to two dozen plants using that word and.
And it is a good question because -- -- you know what's going on with talking about you.
Traveling -- airlines are talking about telling my local transport carry as much as seems to be suggested here with a bus.
Transport people around.
I think we have that realizes that as westerners as perhaps in this case Israelis people have an exposure and there's -- weight control every aspect.
Of that trip -- who wants.
Maybe you are identified as traveling.

You can try and eliminated and you can try and eliminate the plots with a conspiracies.
That law enforcement gets the error.
Yeah intelligence about.

With all the -- -- have all the programs they're running -- -- -- very comfortable and what we're doing counterterrorism.
However when you travel overseas if you realizing that your outside -- the VMware or in the city of here US authorities and says you beholden to what's happening in the country and sometimes you can be exposed.
Just -- who you are neutrality overseas and.

Israelis more than any other country in his war as a citizen treat.
Understand they're dangerous as they travel outside of Israel.
