In Beirut the explosion that killed a U S Marine and wounded three others came from a 15mm cluster shell on the airport tarmac. The blast followed the airport reopening to civilian planes hours after Israel invaded Lebanon. Israel named Supreme Court President Yitzhak Kahan to head a judicial inquiry into possible involvement in the bloodbath. Also named were Aharon Darak and Maj. Gen. Yona Efrat. U S Army Lt Col Lee Delorme said the Marine killed was a combat engineer removing unexploded munitions. In Bonn, Helmut Kohl was elected West German chancellor to replace Helmut Schmidt by a broad margin.
