A Pakistani national from Ontario wanted by the U.S. on terror-related charges for allegedly targeting Jewish institutions in New York City has been extradited.
The extradition Tuesday came four months after Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, consented during a Superior Court hearing in Montreal to be sent to the U.S. to stand trial.
He had been jailed since his arrest on Sept. 4, 2024, in Ormstown, Que., at the behest of U.S. authorities.

“The Department of Justice is proud to help secure this extradition, and we will prosecute this man to the fullest extent of the law.”
