He was planning to murder Jews in New York on the anniversary of Oct. 7th. I'm glad they prevented this. The world is a scary place because of the Crazies returning to the spotlight.


A Toronto-area man is facing terror charges in both Canada and the United States, authorities say, for allegedly attempting to illegally enter the U.S. to carry out a mass shooting at a Jewish Centre in New York City.

News releases issued Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice and the RCMP identified the accused in the case as 20-year-old Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, who investigators say also goes by Shahzeb Jadoon.

Khan was arrested Wednesday in the town of Ormstown, Que., about 60 kilometres south of Montreal. U.S. authorities described him as a Pakistani citizen residing in Canada.

He now faces three charges in Canada:

Attempting to leave Canada to commit an offence for a terrorist group.
Participating in the activities of a terrorist group.
Conspiracy to commit an offence by violating U.S. immigration law – entering or attempting to enter the U.S. unlawfully.

Khan also faces a charge in the U.S. of attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization, namely ISIS.
