How fast is your heart pumping?
These questions and many more will be answered during this episode by the man who lived through this intense apprehension, and that's Gregory D. Lee. Gregory was working for the DEA in Pakistan during the time that Ramzi Yousef, a bomb maker for Al-Qaeda, was wanted for the plot to blow up 12 airliners simultaneously over the Pacific Ocean, and also for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Hear Gregory's heart racing story of finding him, capturing him, and then testifying at his trial to put him away for the rest of his life. Gregory will talk about his very successful career, but nothing will compare to putting Ramzi Yousef in handcuffs!!
