"Khan told Judge Paul G. Gardephe as he pleaded guilty to a single charge of trying to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries that he was going to cross the border from Canada to the United States in September 2024 with 'the intention of killing Jewish people in Brooklyn.'"
"Khan said plotting to kill Jewish people was a 'terrible, extremely dangerous and morally reprehensible idea.'"
"Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said Khan planned a mass shooting to coincide with the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks 'with the explicit goal of killing as many Jews as possible.'"
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 21, pleaded guilty to terrorism charges for planning a mass shooting at a Jewish center in Brooklyn. He intended to carry out the attack in October 2024, motivated by retaliation for Israel's actions in Gaza. Khan expressed regret for his plans, calling them morally reprehensible. He was arrested in Canada before being brought to the U.S. for prosecution. Sentencing is set for August 12, where he faces a potential life sentence.
