Soon after the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, on April 18, 1983, which killed or injured more than 100 people, Herblock produced this cartoon that identifies a host of terrorist groups whose actions had caused hundreds of deaths, mainly during the 1970s. The Islamic Jihad Organization claimed responsibility for the bombing in Beirut. Herblock brings attention here to the increasing involvement of Islamic extremists in international terrorism that became even more notable in the 1980s.
