BEIRUT BOMBING

A U.S. soldier reaches for the body of a fellow Marine amid the rubble of the blasted command center of the U.S. contingent of the multinational force near Beirut airport on Oct. 23, 1983. Some of the Marines trapped in the four story building were reported still alive hours after a bomb-laden truck drove into the center in a suicide mission. (AP Photo/Vaira Harik)
