		The terror attacks against Western targets which were carried out in Lebanon in the 1980s can be divided into two main categories: spectacular suicide attacks in 1983 against Western targets using car bombs driven by Shi’ite suicide bombers and the kidnapping and subsequent release of Western hostages between 1982 and 1992.
