Pakistani to be Extradited to US for ISIS-Inspired Mass Shooting Plot to Kill NYC Jews; Man Arrested in Quebec in Connection with Alleged NYC Terror Plot Against Jews Consents to Extradition to U.S.

Pakistani to be extradited to US for ISIS-inspired mass shooting plot to kill NYC Jews:

A Pakistani man wanted by the FBI will be extradited to New York from Canada to face trial on terrorism charges.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, is accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired mass shooting at a Brooklyn Jewish center on Oct. 7. The Justice Department did not disclose the exact location he was targeting.

At an extradition hearing in Montreal Thursday, the young man also known as “Shahzeb Jadoon,” agreed not to fight his handover to US federal authorities.

Khan entered Canada on a student visa in May 2023, though it’s unclear whether he actually attended school at all. By November 2023, he was already on the FBI’s radar for allegedly expressing sympathy for the radical Islamic group ISIS, on his social media, according to the federal complaint.

An FBI investigation uncovered Khan’s alleged plan to form a group of co-conspirators and kill “as many Jewish people as possible” in the name of ISIS, on Oct. 7, the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel.

Khan hoped the massacre would go down in history as “the largest US attack since 9/11,” according to the criminal complaint filed in the Southern District of New York. --->READ MORE HERE

Man arrested in Quebec in connection with alleged NYC terror plot against Jews consents to extradition to U.S.

A Pakistani national who was arrested last September in Ormstown, Que. on terrorism charges has agreed not to contest his extradition to the United States where he’s facing charges.

Twenty-year-old Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, who was living in Toronto, was arrested as he was about to cross into the United States.

The RCMP alleges he was plotting to attack a Jewish centre in Brooklyn, N.Y. According to police, he allegedly wanted to shoot as many Jews as possible on the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Six months after Khan’s arrest, the young man agreed not to oppose his extradition at a Montreal courthouse Thursday.

“His wish was to be extradited as soon as possible to face trial,” his lawyer, Gaetan Bourassa, said after the brief court appearance.

Khan, who was dressed in a blue tracksuit and bore bushy hair and beard, answered “yes” when the judge asked him if he agreed to waive his right to a hearing to oppose his extradition.

Khan was on the FBI’s radar in November 2023, when he was alleged to have posted messages on social media, where he expressed sympathy for radical Islamic group, ISIS. --->READ MORE HERE
