Like most of Hezbollah’s military officials, little is known about Shukur, who was also known as Sayed Mohsen. The U.S. Treasury Department had offered a $5 million reward for information about him. The bombing near the Beirut International Airport on Oct. 23, 1983, remains the deadliest single-day attack on Marines since the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. A near-simultaneous attack on French forces killed 58 paratroopers.
