Hezbollah could surpass Al-Qaeda as the most serious long-term threat to the United States
In Beirut, Lebanon, a truck bomb attacked the headquarters of US Marines killing 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel and three Army soldiers.
Within minute, there was a similar attack on the French barracks which killed 58 French paratroopers.
It's widely accepted that it was Hezbollah that carried out these attacks.
