Solving A 19-Year-Old Al-Qaida-Related Cold Case
In 2010 Lance was contacted by Emad Salem, the ex-Egyptian army officer who had infiltrated the cell around blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing conspiracy. Lance worked with Salem and ex-NYPD homicide detective James Moss to solve the homicide case of Mustafa Shalabi who was killed by al-Qaeda operatives in 1992.
Lance's investigative reporting into the WTC bombing and Shalabi was published in “The Spy Who Came In for the Heat,” an article for the August, 2010 issue of Playboy, recapping his findings on the television show Morning Joe. Lance expanded his reporting in First Blood, another investigative piece published in Tablet Magazine. In that story Lance revealed new evidence of a second gunman in the 1991 assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane. Lance offered proof that El Sayyid Nosair, the convicted killer of Kahane, also intended to murder former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, a revelation that made page-one news in The Jerusalem Post.

Famous quotes containing the words solving a, solving, cold and/or case:
“There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Will women find themselves in the same position they have always been? Or do we see liberation as solving the conditions of women in our society?... If we continue to shy away from this problem we will not be able to solve it after independence. But if we can say that our first priority is the emancipation of women, we will become free as members of an oppressed community.”
—Ruth Mompati (b. 1925)
“I have been told, that in some public discourses of mine my reverence for the intellect has made me unjustly cold to the personal relations. But now I almost shrink at the remembrance of such disparaging words. For persons are love’s world, and the coldest philosopher cannot recount the debt of the young soul wandering here in nature to the power of love, without being tempted to unsay, as treasonable to nature, aught derogatory to the social instincts.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Wealth is not without its advantages and the case to the contrary, although it has often been made, has never proved widely persuasive.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
