A Pakistani national who was plotting to carry out a terrorist attack in New York City and kill Jewish population in the United States around October 7 was arrested in Canada, a statement by the US Department of Justice said. He was charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS). The held person was identified as Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, who allegedly planned a terror attack in New York “with the intent of slaughtering in the name of ISIS, as many Jewish people as possible,” Attorney General Merrick B Garland said, as per the statement.
