My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.

  4. Don't forget suicide bombing 6 months prior to Marine Barracks attack also involved Aqil. 32 Lebanese, 17 Americans, 14 visitors & passers-by were killed at US embassy. Victims were mostly embassy and CIA staff members, but also included several US soldiers and one U.S. Marine Security Guard.
