From 'CIA Declassified', Series 1, Episode 5: Following the devastating 1983 Beirut Marine Barracks bombing—the largest terror attack against Americans at the time—CIA Director William Casey allegedly sanctioned a personal, "off-the-books" operation for revenge. This documentary unearths the true, top-secret story of the illegal car bomb attack aimed at Sheikh Fadlala, the man the CIA mistakenly believed led Hezbollah. Discover how this colossal intelligence failure, which killed 83 innocents, exposed the limits of American power and catalyzed the radical creation of the CIA's modern Counterterrorism Center and its lethal drone program.
