Hezbollah

edit

I've removed the following sentence and am placing it here for discussion per Template:fact

Many groups within Lebanon were opposed to the American presence but the militant group Hezbollah, under the code name "Islamic Jihad," is believed to have been responsible for the attacks.

Embassy Location

Anyone know where the embassy building was located? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Socrates2008 (talkcontribs) 14:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Attack

edit

The summary is inconsistent. The first part says the truck "parked under the portico at the very front of the building, where it exploded". The second that "the van broke through an outbuilding, crashed through the lobby door and exploded there". One implies an ordinary arrival, the other a forced one.101.98.74.13 (talk) 06:41, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
