In the novel, The Lions Game by Nelson Demille, the main events that influenced this book were the terrorist, Asad Khalil, overt racism and New York City ex-detective John Corey.

Asad Khalils a psychopath with a blood feud against United States of America. Asads family was killed in an American bombing of Libya on April 15, 1986. The bombs were dropped on Asads hometown of Al Azziziyah. When his town was bombed his family was killed. Asads father was already dead but his mother, 2 brothers and 2 sister were killed in the attack. When the attack occurred, Asad was 15 and he was with his girlfriend at the time.

When the bombs went off she started to scream
