A Pakistani man wanted by the FBI will be delivered to New York from Canada to try terrorist charges.
Muhammad Shahbi Khan, 20, accused of planning a mass shooting inspired by ISIS at a Jewish center in Brooklyn on October 7. The Ministry of Justice did not reveal the exact location it was targeting.
In a delivery session in Montreal on Thursday, the young man also known as “Shahbi Jadoun” also agreed to not fight his delivery to the US federal authorities.
Khan Canada entered a student visa in May 2023, although it is not clear whether he had already enrolled in school at all. By November 2023, it was already on the FBI radar for claiming that he was expressing his sympathy for the Islamic Radical Group, on social media, according to the federal complaint.
Investigations by the FBI revealed the alleged plan of Khan to form a group of conspirators and kill the “largest possible number of Jewish people” in the name of ISIS, on October 7, the first anniversary of Hamas's attack on Israel.
Khan was hoping that the massacre in history would decrease as “the largest American attack since September 11”, according to the criminal complaint filed in the southern region of New York.
“Brothers. We go to New York City for slaughtering them.” “Inshalah” is Arabic for “if God desires.”
Khan was arrested 12 miles from the American border on September 4-one month before his planned attack-with a pocket of money that the FBI says he aims to push a smuggler to obtain across the border between Canada and the United States.
If convicted, Khan faces a 20 -year prison sentence.
