During the Lebanese Civil War, two truck bombs (loaded with the equivalent of 21,000 pounds of TNT) struck barracks of U.S. and French peacekeepers killing 241 U.S. military peacekeepers and 307 people altogether (including the two suicide bombers). 115 others were injured. Hezbollah is presumed responsible, but they continue to deny responsibility even today.

This is "the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Armed Forces since the first day of the Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War, and the deadliest terrorist attack on American citizens overseas," per Wikipedia. The suicide explosions occurred with a mundane Moon-Pluto opposition just past the horizon in Beirut, and with partile Sun-Pluto and Venus-Mars conjunctions.

This was about 6 months after the U.S. embassy bombing in Beirut April 18, 1983.
