Chapter 6: Genealogy of Islamic terrorism (7)
152 Religious terrorism
crosses the border easily (3/4)
In response to the yell of Ayatollah Khomeini, Hezbollah of Shiite
sect stood up in Lebanon. In addition to the conventional terrorism against
Israel, Hezbollah extended the terrorist activities against Americans,
especially military officers. Israel and the United States are the same enemy
for Hezbollah. In 1983, the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut was bombed
by Hezbollah attacks. 241 US soldiers were killed or injured.
In Egypt, antipathy against President Sadat who
concluded historical peace treaty with Israel has ignited religious
consciousness. He was assassinated by the officers of the jihad group in 1981. Furthermore,
Sunni terrorist group Al Qaeda led by Osama Bin Laden activated terrorism
throughout the Middle East. Al Qaeda carried out a bomb terror aimed at US
soldiers in Aden of Yemen in 1992.
