"Khan stated that he was motivated to provide material support to the Islamic State group in retaliation for Israel's killing of Palestinians in Gaza, expressing regret for his plans."
"Assistant Attorney General John A. Eisenberg noted that Khan planned a mass shooting to coincide with the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks, aiming to kill as many Jews as possible."
"Khan described his plot as a 'terrible, extremely dangerous and morally reprehensible idea,' acknowledging that he was not raised to think this way."
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a 21-year-old Pakistani man, pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge for planning a mass shooting at a Jewish center in Brooklyn. He intended to carry out the attack in October 2024, motivated by the Islamic State's call to kill Jewish people in response to Israel's actions in Gaza. Khan expressed regret for his plans, describing them as morally reprehensible. He faces sentencing on August 12, with the possibility of life in prison. Khan has been in jail since his arrest in Canada in September 2024.
