in Washington. President Reagan denounced the bombing as "a despicable act" and said the U.S. peacekeeping force would not be driven out of Lebanon. He summoned an emergency meeting of his security advisers.
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said Iran might be responsible for the bombings, which came six months and five days after an American bomber was bombing destroyed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut.
"THIS KIND OF thing just hardens our resolve, and we will continue to do what we came here to do, and that is provide assistance for a free and independent Lebanon," said Col. Timothy Geraghty, Marine commander in Beirut.
Pentagon officials said a 10-ship task force with 1,900 Martines and another battle group headed by the aircraft carrier Independence were ordered to resume their voyage to the Mediterranean Sea, where they are to relieve forces now distributed in and around Lebanon.
Both groups had been diverted to the Caribbean Sea to underscore a determination to protect some, 1,000 U.S. citizens on Grenada after the coup on the island last week.
Also, a unit of Marines moved out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., yesterday on its way to Beirut to replace the men who were killed. The number of men in the unit was not disclosed.

were needed," said Ma] Gen. Alfred Gray, the G伦 Leumee commander.
France have made Mali a focus. There are 1,600 Martines based in Lebanon along with French, Italian and British troops as part of a multinational peacekeeping force.
The Pentagon said at least 146 Marines were killed and at least 69 wounded in the blast that blew apart the four-story Battalion Landing Team headquarters at the Beirut airport, leaving a crater 30 feet deep and 120 feet across.
THREE MILES AWAY in west Beirut, rescue workers recovered the bodies of 31 French paratroops and 12 more wounded soldiers from the ruins of an eight-story building that housed the French 6th Regiment Infantry paratroops, Lebanese Civil Defense officials said.
Ll Col. Philip de Longeau, spokesman for the French force, said as many as 85 French soldiers were in the building when the bomb produced it to a 10-vard-high mount of rubble.
Gummen in a Shiite Muslim neighborhood north of the Marine base at Beirut airport opened fire with submachine guns and rocket-propelled grenades on rescue workers trying to pry the wounded from heaps of concrete and twisted steel.
steel.
Fires erupted in the rubble, raising the danger of chain explosions of leaking gas and ammunition buried beneath.
Marines with pickaxes, sledge hammers and shovels pulled away rubble, trying to reach victims who could be heard moaning for help hours after the blast.
EVEN AFTER NIGHT fell, more than 15
hours after the blasts, palls of dust and explosive fumes hung over the disaster sites as rescuers working by the light of floodlights dug frantically through the rubble in the hope of finding survivors.
More than 50 of the wounded U.S. Marines in the attack were rushed to U.S. and British military hospitals in Cyprus, Italy and West Germany for emergency care.
A U.S. Navy plane flew 12 of the American wounded to Naples for treatment at a Navy hospital on the outskirts of the southern Italian city.
ANOTHER 23 WENT to the U.S. Armed Forces Hospital at Rhine-Main Air Base in West Germany, and 21 others were evacuated in a British C-130 Hercules transport to Britain's Akrotiri Air Base in Cyprus for treatment at Princess Mary's Royal Air Force Hospital.
One of the injured men died shortly after arriving in the Cyprus hospital, a spokesman said. Another Marine died in the hospital at Rhine-Main base. The identities of both men are being withheld until relatives have been informed...
informed.
Eight of the wounded flown to Naples left the aircraft unaided, one with bandaged eyes, others with their arms in splints. Two, being fed intravenously, left the plane on stretches. Two others needed charlifts to get into the ambulances waiting on the airport tarmac for the 6-mile trip to the U.S. Navy hospital at Aganno.
Some were dressed in military fatigues. Others, in what appeared to be pajamas, had their garments torn where medics had ripped them to dress wounds.
About a dozen friends and relatives of the wounded were allowed to approach the men through a military cordon. Among them were two women in tears.
