Sofia - Police in Bulgaria say two bomb explosions damaged strip parlours in the capital Sofia and injured five people.
Officials at a Sofia hospital say one of the victims is in a critical condition after the near simultaneous blasts outside the Panthers and Casablanca clubs early Monday.
Frequent bombings and arson attacks in Bulgarian cities are blamed on rival underworld gangs.
Bulgaria has faced strong international criticism for failing to tackle organised crime and corruption since joining the European Union in 2007.
