Beiruit Marine Barracks is a notable exception, but that was an attack on a military target.

ON EDIT: This may not be a suicide bomb attack, and the fact that someone got on just before the explosion may be coincidental.

Israel: Iran behind bus bomb attack that killed seven tourists in Bulgaria

The bomb, placed in the trunk, was detonated not far from Burgas airport, said Dimitar Nikolov, the city's mayor. At least 40 people were on board when it exploded.
...

Initial reports claimed the explosion was caused by a suicide bomber, after eyewitnesses reported seeing a person board the bus before it blew up.
...

The Bulgarian interior minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, was quoted on national radio BNR as saying the police were investigating two possible causes of the blast: that an explosive device was put in the bus before the tourists boarded or that the explosives were in the tourists' luggage.

However, the attribution to the Iranians is being driven mostly by the fact that it is the anniversary of the attack on the Argentinian Jewish center. Israel has many enemies, and lots of them can read calendars.
