BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanon’s security agencies have launched an investigation into a late night shooting outside the U.S. embassy in Lebanon that caused no injuries, officials said Thursday. Top CIA officials were among those killed in the 1983 embassy attack in a Beirut coastal neighborhood. In 2008, an explosion targeted a U.S. Embassy vehicle in northern Beirut, killing at least three Lebanese and injuring an American bystander and a local embassy employee. In October 1983, a truck bombing killed 241 American service members at the U.S. Marine barracks at Beirut airport. The U.S. withdrew all diplomats from Beirut in September 1989 and did not reopen its embassy until 1991.
