What were the consequences of Mughniyeh's alleged bombings and kidnappings in Lebanon in the 1980s?

  • Increased tourism

  • Decline in oil prices

  • Removal of US military presence

  • Rise of a new political party

Answer

The removal of US military presence in Lebanon was a consequence of Mughniyeh's alleged bombings and kidnappings in the 1980s. In 1983, the US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut were bombed, killing 241 US servicemen. This was followed by the kidnapping and murder of US diplomat William Buckley in 1984. These attacks led to the withdrawal of US forces from Lebanon in 1985.
