Sinister face behind Brooklyn Jewish terror plot revealed as suspect is hauled to America for justice

A Pakistani man accused of plotting a chilling ISIS-inspired mass shooting at a Jewish center in Brooklyn has been hauled to New York to face justice.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, was extradited from Canada after allegedly scheming to unleash a terror attack targeting Jewish Americans with automatic rifles – on or around the anniversary of Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre in Israel.

Prosecutors say Khan aimed to ‘kill as many members of our Jewish community as possible’ in a horrifying attack meant to mirror the devastation of 9/11.

Khan, who had been living in Quebec, was arrested last September by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) just 20 kilometers from the U.S. border.

According to U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, Khan had been communicating with an undercover law enforcement officer posing as an ISIS sympathizer, laying out his entire plan – down to the AR-style rifles, ammunition, and getaway strategy.

‘During one communication, Khan noted that “if we succeed with our plan this would be the largest attack on U.S. soil since 9/11”,’ prosecutors said in a statement.

Khan began posting extremist propaganda online in late 2023 and soon connected with others via encrypted messaging apps, allegedly pledging support to ISIS and sharing attack blueprints with a U.S.-based co-conspirator.

By August 2024, he allegedly switched his target to a Jewish community center in Brooklyn, with plans to carry out the shooting near the one-year mark of the Hamas-led rampage that left more than 1,200 people dead in Israel.

Khan is now facing multiple charges in the U.S., including attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and attempting to commit terrorism transcending national borders.

If convicted, he faces life in prison.

The shocking case has sent ripples through Jewish communities in New York and beyond, with authorities praising the undercover operation that stopped the alleged plot before it could be carried out. 

The allegations have not yet been proven in court.

The case comes amid rising fears over anti-Semitic violence nationwide—just days after a pro-Israel rally in Colorado was firebombed in what the FBI is calling a ‘targeted terror attack.’ 

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, allegedly injured eight people—aged 52 to 88—after launching a Molotov cocktail-style attack at a peaceful rally in Boulder on Sunday during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot.

Terrifying footage showed victims lying motionless beside Israeli flags as flames erupted. One man was reportedly set ablaze.

Soliman, shirtless and holding bottles of alcohol, yelled ‘End Zionists’ and ‘Free Palestine’ before hurling incendiary devices into the crowd, according to the ADL.

The FBI labeled it a ‘targeted terror attack,’ while Colorado’s Attorney General said it appeared to be a hate crime.

Soliman first entered the U.S. in 2022 on a visa under the Biden administration, overstayed it, and was later granted a work permit through 2025, officials confirmed.

He was arrested without incident but also hospitalized for minor injuries. One victim remains in critical condition.

Police evacuated several blocks around Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall.
