...ugly standards of Lebanon's recent history, the toll was not all that high. Just 17 months earlier, 63 people had been killed in the car bombing of the old U.S. embassy in West Beirut. Six months later, similar suicide bombings within moments of each other took the lives of 241 U.S. servicemen and 58 French paratroopers.
