Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, who has been jailed since his arrest in September in Ormstown, Que., is being sought by authorities in the U.S. to stand trial
U.S. officials charged Muhammad Shahzeb Khan with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a terrorist organization, and Canada has agreed to have him extradited.A Pakistani national from Ontario who was arrested in Quebec for allegedly plotting to kill Jews in New York returns to court today.
Before his arrest, Khan was living in Mississauga, Ont., according to court documents, and federal Immigration Minister Marc Miller has said the accused arrived in Canada in June 2023 on a student visa granted in May of that year. They moved their online conversations to an encrypted platform – unnamed in the U.S. court documents – after Khan expressed concerns about being identified by the FBI. He allegedly sent the informant a number of Islamic State videos and a PDF e-book with a detailed history of the terror group.
Authorities later identified the person in control of the account as Khan and, on March 21, 2024, provided the RCMP with Ontario IP addresses, social media accounts and a Pakistani phone number, all tied to the suspect. In August, the RCMP told U.S. authorities they had identified Khan and opened a criminal investigation into him.
After the RCMP disrupted a father and son’s alleged Islamic State-inspired murder plot in Toronto, Khan allegedly told chat group members they needed to “lay low, no social media” and that the cell “should be small and well-armed.”
