Radical Islam and Its Unfinished Agendas Case 1 – Lebanon

People of Beirut stroll along destroyed and damaged buildings. The ruins testify to the intense fighting going on in the city since June 1982 as a result of Operation Peace For Galilee, when Israeli forces invaded West Beirut in response to repeated cease fire breeches by the Palestine Liberation Organization. The United Nations intervened in September of the same year to force the withdrawal of PLO and Syrian forces and restore Lebanese government, but not before many parts of the city had been reduced to desolate stretches of rubble and debris.
