1981 Azbakiyah bombing

The 1981 Azbakiyah bombing (تفجير الأزبكية) was a terrorist car bomb attack in the neighborhood of al-Azbakiyah, Damascus on 29 November 1981. The attack was blamed on the Muslim Brotherhood which was waging an insurrection against the government of Hafez al-Assad at the time.

However, a group calling itself the Organisation for the Liberation of Lebanon from Foreigners claimed responsibility for the bombing. It is believed to be the same group as the Israeli-backed Front for the Liberation of Lebanon from Foreigners, which was responsible for a series of bombings in Lebanon, which killed 146 people.
