Over the next few years , the el-Hage family traveled repeatedly to Pakistan , initially taking along his mother-in-law and her husband . In an interview with PBS Frontline , el-Hage 's mother-in-law said , " I was the matron surgical nurse at an Afghan surgical hospital . Wadih did not actually fight , but acted as an educator . My husband went with Wadih to deliver textbooks and Qur ' ans to the young people . It was a Jihad , a fight for Islam . " At an Islamic conference in Oklahoma in December 1989 , el-Hage met Mahmud Abouhalima , who was later convicted for his part in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing . El-Hage 's prosecutors say that Abouhalima told el-Hage to buy a .38 caliber revolver , that he did . El Sayyid Nosair used that revolver to kill Rabbi Meir Kahane
