Editing El Sayyid Nosair (section)

==Possible accomplices in Kahane's assassination==
In August 2010, the [[Israel]]i newspaper ''[[The Jerusalem Post]]'', referencing a story in ''[[Playboy]]'' summarizing FBI memos, claimed that Nosair had two partners and that his original target was Israeli military figure and future Prime Minister of Israel [[Ariel Sharon]]. The article states that in 2005 Nosair stated to FBI investigators "that on the night he shot Kahane dead, he was accompanied by two co-conspirators to the Marriot Hotel in Manhattan where Kahane was speaking – one of whom was also carrying a gun." The men, Bilal al-Kaisi (also known as Bilal Elqisi), a Jordanian, and [[Mohammed A. Salameh]], a [[Palestinians|Palestinian]], have never been charged for their part in the slaying, but both were linked to al Qaeda and the [[1993 World Trade Center bombing]], <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?id=184761|title='Sharon was Kahane killer's target'|date=August 15, 2010|publisher=Jpost.com|access-date=26 July 2015}}</ref> Salameh was convicted of his part in the terrorist conspiracy, but Al Kaisi was convicted of a minor immigration violation and released.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bombing Figure Gets 20 Months For An Immigration Violation |work=[[New York Times]] |date=1994-07-14 |last=Sullivan |first=Ronald |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/07/14/nyregion/bombing-figure-gets-20-months-for-an-immigration-violation.html |access-date=2024-09-11}}</ref>
