WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) – On Sunday morning, October 23, 1983, a terrorist drove a truck filled with explosives up to the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon. The ensuing explosion leveled the Battalion Landing Team headquarters, killing 241 members of America’s military, most of them Marines from Camp Lejeune. A new book co-authored by Jack Carr, the New York Times bestselling author and former Navy SEAL, and James M. Scott, a Pulitzer Prize Award finalist and military historian, Targeted: Beirut details what led up to one of the deadliest attacks ever against the United States and what they call “the origin story of the war on terror.”
