A new bill has been introduced today in Congress to support victims of the 1983 Beirut Marine barracks terrorist bombing. The Fairness for American Victims of State-Sponsored Terrorism Act would repurpose no-longer-needed COVID-19 funding to improve H.R. 8987, the Fairness for 9/11 Victims Act, by extending coverage to victims of the 1983 Beirut Marine Barracks Bombing and their families, increasing the available funds for this purpose.
The bill’s text can be found here.
