Was this the first embassy that got car-bombed or the second one? You know, before or after the Marine barracks bombing?

My buddy was a state dept tech weenie. He went over to set up the secure comms system in the new embassy.
He's got a nice souvenir from there - a chunk of concrete with shrapnel through it. Probably a piece of roof.
