Man arrested in Quebec over plot to attack NYC Jewish centre faces extradition hearing in February [Video]

A Pakistani man accused of planning an ISIS-inspired mass shooting in New York has been ordered to appear in a Quebec court for a U.S. extradition hearing next month.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, who’d been living near Toronto, is wanted by U.S. authorities to stand trial in connection with an alleged plot to attack a Jewish centre in Brooklyn.

Khan, 20, remained silent from the prisoner box during a brief appearance in Superior Court in Montreal on Friday morning. He stood and nodded when the judge told him he would return for an extradition hearing on Feb. 20. 

RCMP arrested Khan near the U.S. border in Ormstown, Que., southwest of Montreal, in September. Court records show the FBI became aware of Khan in late 2023 after an informant raised concerns about his social media posts.
