U S Marines May Return to Beirut After Attack
Walid Jumblatt survived an assassination attempt in Beirut as President Reagan suggested expanding the U S Marines role to stabilize Lebanon. A car bomb in Hamra killed six and wounded 39, including Jumblatt and his wife. Draper escaped unharmed as officials blamed a remote detonation near Jumblatt’s vehicle. The incident follows a string of violence challenging Amin Gemayel’s fragile rule.
