I just received this from a friend that is retired State Department.

A friend took his place there while he had to finish up some last minute "paperwork" on another assignment. His friend was injured and several others were killed.

Colleagues –
This year, 18 April falls on a Saturday. We encourage all of you to take a moment on Saturday to remember the victims and families of those who lost their lives or were injured 32 years ago in the bombing of our embassy in downtown Beirut. The explosion that took our colleagues occurred at 13:03.
