- Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a Pakistani national living in Canada, pleaded guilty on April 8, 2026, to attempting to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries by trying to enter the United States and carry out a mass shooting with automatic weapons at a prominent Jewish center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
- The Justice Department said Khan began posting ISIS propaganda in November 2023 and later told undercover officers he wanted to use AR-style rifles to target Jewish sites; by August 2024 he had shifted his target to a prominent Jewish religious center in Brooklyn and hoped to attack on or around Oct. 7, 2024.
- Prosecutors said Khan identified a smuggler to help him cross from Canada into the United States, sent a photo of the area inside the target site where he planned to attack and was intercepted about 12 miles from the northern border before reaching New York; he is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 12, 2026.
