Arrest at Upstate New York Border

Authorities have arrested a man from Pakistan residing in Canada who intended to commit mass murder in New York City. The arrest followed a complaint filed in the Southern District of New York, which detailed the suspect’s plans to cross the border and kill indiscriminately. This operation involved close collaboration among various law enforcement agencies, highlighting the critical nature of inter-agency cooperation in preventing terrorist attacks.

“As alleged, Khan attempted to travel to the United States to carry out a terrorist attack and murder as many Jewish people as possible, all in support of ISIS.  Khan’s alleged crimes are a vivid reminder that we must remain vigilant in the fight against antisemitism and terror.  Thanks to our law enforcement partners and the career prosecutors of this Office, Khan’s alleged plan was disrupted before he reached the United States.  Let this be a reminder to anyone who seeks to harm our community:  This Office will stop at nothing to root you out and bring you to justice,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said that the defend is alleged to have planned a terrorist attack that would have taken place in New York City on October 7th this year with the aim of slaughtering as many Jewish people as possible “in the name of ISIS.”

“Thanks to the investigative work of the FBI, and the quick action of our Canadian law enforcement partners, the defendant was taken into custody.  As I said to Canada’s Minister of Public Safety yesterday, we are deeply grateful to our Canadian partners for their critical law enforcement actions in this matter,” Garland added.
