In 1981 the Islamic Dawa Party's suicide bomber attacked the Iraqi embassy in Beirut. Hezbollah carried out a bombing of the US embassy in April 1983 and the attack on US Marine and French barracks in October 1983 which brought international attention to suicide bombings.
More than three people died in the Iraqi capital every day in the 12 months to February on average, while a total of 3,654 people were wounded in 380 separate terrorist attacks.
