Iran responsible for 1983 Marine barracks bombing, judge rules

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Iran is responsible for the 1983 suicide bombing of a U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, that killed 241 American servicemen, a U.S. District Court judge ruled Friday.

U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth said the suicide truck bombing was carried out by the group Hezbollah with the approval and funding of Iran's senior government officials.

Lamberth ordered that the plaintiffs in the case -- the servicemen wounded in that bombing and the families of those killed -- have a "right to obtain judicial relief" from Iran. The judge called the October 23, 1983 bombing "the most deadly state-sponsored terrorist attack made against United States citizens before September 11, 2001."

I hope Olmert is out of office soon. His terrible management of this war hurt his country deeply.

Sorry, did not mean to post that without context. But it is relevant as far as the Hezbos are concerned.

this is an awful day for the IDF.

And lets hope it was an even worse day for the terrorist Hezbollah fanatics.

I suppose this does not have anything to do with a step up in the tempo of operations in preparation for the "cease fire".

Both The Jerusalem Post and Haaretz, the two major Israeli English language news web sites, are reporting 11 IDF deaths on Saturday. That's sad, but I'd trust their numbers more than I would the AP's.

Dog the IDF advanced very deep inside Lebanon and controlled a lot of territories today, and fought in a lot of places inside Lebanon. Today was a great day for the IDF.

There are 5 missing IDF soldiers from that crash...so there might be more Israeli POW's....for Olmert to abandon.

Thanks for passing that on.

It may well be that as with the inflated death toll in Qana, the same is true here.

I'm sure the Hezbollah death toll was much higher.

Nineteen casualties?

I can not see Israel winning this war if such has destroyed their morale.

The MSM is simply being ridiculous with the casualty counting. Although any casualties are bad, only 19 along a wider front in one day is pretty damned good when placed in proper perspective with the 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973 wars, when Israel lost far more men during the fighting.

Good grief! Has these people forgotten what real war is?????
