(CBS/AP) BURGAS, Bulgaria – A lanky, long-haired man wearing a baseball cap and plaid shorts with a fake Michigan driver’s license carried out a deadly suicide attack on a bus full of Israeli vacationers, Bulgarian officials said Thursday as authorities continued to analyze forensic evidence to determine the suspected bomber’s identity. Bulgarian television aired security camera footage Thursday showing the suspect wandering in and out of the terminal shortly before the blast.

Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said the bomber was believed to have been about 36 years old and had been in the country between four and seven days. “We cannot exclude the possibility that he had logistical support on Bulgarian territory,” the minister said.

But West says he wants to be defined by more than the fact that he is a double amputee. “I don’t have any legs. That’s the obvious thing…” he said Thursday on “CBS This Morning.” “The second piece is that doesn’t just define who I am. What defines who I am is my name, what I do for my job, what am I interested in. All of those things define who I am. Not just I don’t have any legs. So we can talk about that. But then I would rather be known for the work that I do and who I am as a person other than just Spencer West without legs.” West said he credits his parents for the person he has become. “They raised me…to not ever see myself as different, but to also focus on what I could do instead of focusing on what I can’t do because I was told I would never be a functioning member of society. We refused to believe that. We sort of set out to redefine what’s possible for me.” For legless climber, summiting Kilimanjaro proof that anything is possible West said he realized he was different when...
