Steve Emerson’s Investigative Project on Terrorism reports that Judge Royce Lamberth has ordered a second major civil damages award against Iran in connection with the 1983 Beirut bombing of an American Marine barracks, in which 241 Americans were killed. This time, the award — to two survivors — was nearly $100 million. Previously, he had entered a billion-dollar judgment in favor of the estates of the fallen military personnel.
