The announcement attributed to
Islamic Holy War said today’s attack
was carried out "to prove we will
carry out our previous promise not to
allow a single American to remain on
Lebanese soil."
No member of Islamic Jihad has
ever been identified. lebanese and
American officials have said there
may not actually be such a group,
and that the name may be used by
many individual attackers or small
independent groups.

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — A van
filled with explosives crashed into
the U.S. Embassy annex in east
Beirut and blew up today, severely
damaging the six-story building and
reportedly killing 23 people and
wounding 60, including the U.S. am-
bassador.
The Christian-owned Voice of
