Foiled terrorist attack targeted New York City, DOJ says | LiveNOW from FOX

A man was arrested in Canada in connection with a plot to carry out a mass shooting at a Jewish center in Brooklyn to mark one year since the Oct. 7 massacre, when the Hamas terror group launched an attack on Israel, sparking the current Gaza war.

The information was released by the US Department of Justice. The agency identified the suspect as 20-year-old Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, also known as Shahzeb Jadoon.

He is charged with attempting to provide material support to the ISIS terror group and was arrested while attempting to cross the Canadian border into the US, the DOJ said.

Federal investigators allege he told undercover law enforcement that he and another ISIS supporter based in the US needed to obtain AR-style rifles, ammunition and other materials, adding that New York City was the “perfect” target because of its large Jewish population.

The suspect told the undercover agents that the plan could result in the “largest attack on US soil since 9/11,” court documents state.

Mike Harrigan, the former chief of the FBI's firearms training program joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow to discuss the case.

If he came into the US at the southern border they would have gave him a credit card, a phone and a ride to NYC.

Thanks to Canada for working with the USA. Glad he was caught.

[isfsxov]

New York better keep its eyes and ears open because that day is fast

[justiceackon]

Imagine how many of such people have entered through the Southern Border. PRAY FOR THE USA...

[boombam]

Waiting for all the peaceful Muslims to condemn terror.

[mattiron]

They can go find this guy, they can stop this guy, but a dude walking across a roof 130 yds from Trump rally with a rifle isnt seen, nobody has a clue.

[evaristmilian]

Another Medieval sectarian...What a shock!

[tommybrown]

The usual suspects... such a peaceful religion

[susangoodwin]

If he’s not a Canadian citizen or US citizen, I would say he has NO RIGHTS . Punish him by the laws of Hamas that he follows.

[amichaelj]

He should've come in through Mexico. I hear they're giving state IDs, monthly cash, free housing, free medical, food stamps and transportation to whatever vacation destination in America they want to go to.

[Bisu-ko]

Fear of izlam is not izlamophobia, its common sense

[jenniferrevilla]

You mean they actually stopped someone before committing the crime? Wow!

[RepentorPerish]

The DOJ actually investigated someone other than US conservatives? Wow

[crangel]

Meanwhile, Ari Shaffir claims there is no real Jewish hate

[mayday]

[KMSniper]

Thanks biden/Harris administration . Meanwhile our borders are wide open we would have missed that

[Geovanagodfrey]

Put the vice president in jail for all she's done to America

[UnstoppableYaris]

DOJ, CIA. FBI, NSA and SS have all lost their credibility years ago. Everything with a grain of salt.

[JKRuc]

His first name is "Mohammed", my guess is that he's from the "religion of peace" people.

[avayalde]

So hamas is all over the world now, this is a problem.
