A man was arrested in Canada in connection with a plot to carry out a mass shooting at a Jewish center in Brooklyn to mark one year since the Oct. 7 massacre, when the Hamas terror group launched an attack on Israel, sparking the current Gaza war.
The information was released by the US Department of Justice. The agency identified the suspect as 20-year-old Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, also known as Shahzeb Jadoon.
He is charged with attempting to provide material support to the ISIS terror group and was arrested while attempting to cross the Canadian border into the US, the DOJ said.
Federal investigators allege he told undercover law enforcement that he and another ISIS supporter based in the US needed to obtain AR-style rifles, ammunition and other materials, adding that New York City was the “perfect” target because of its large Jewish population.
The suspect told the undercover agents that the plan could result in the “largest attack on US soil since 9/11,” court documents state.
Mike Harrigan, the former chief of the FBI’s firearms training program joined LiveNOW from FOX’s Josh Breslow to discuss the case.
