He is currently in prison in Turkey for the murder of a journalist. 7. In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut. This constituted another attack on American soil. When the vehicle exploded, it killed 63 people. This vehicle was driven by: a. Janet Napolitano b. Nancy Pelosi c. Two despicable co-conspirators: Joe Biden and Harry Reid d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40, because blowing things up is not condemned by the religion of peace. 8. Just six short months later on October 23, 1983, a large truck heavily laden down with over 12,000 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen are killed. Simultaneously, another suicide bomber driving another large truck similarly laden with explosives drove into the French military barracks in Beirut killing 58 French paratroopers who were also part of the Multi National Peacekeeping force.

A 17-year old Muslim male extremist dressed in a flowing white funeral robe. According to intelligence sources, he had attended his own funeral earlier and was praised by his family as a martyr. There was no turning back for this young boy. The Marine Corps corporal who saw him speed past his checkpoint in the early morning of that fateful day noticed that he had a blissful smile on his face. Blowing things up is not condemned by the religion of peace, and killing infidels is rewarded with 76 virgins in Paradise. 9. Two months later on December 12, 1983, and emboldened by the effectiveness of this tactic in Beirut, another truck loaded with explosives was driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait and a second truck was driven simultaneously into the French Embassy in Kuwait. The 90-minute coordinated attack on two embassies, the country's main airport and oil refineries, was more notable for the damage it was intended to cause than what was actually destroyed.

Jamal Jafaar Mohammed's seat in parliament gives him immunity from prosecution. Washington says he supports Shiite insurgents and acts as an Iranian agent in Iraq. 10. The following year, on September 20, 1984, another van was driven into the gate of the US Embassy in Beirut. Following the earlier attack in April 1983, the embassy was moved to a supposedly “more secure location” in East Beirut.
