(CBC) A Pakistani national accused of planning a terror attack against a Jewish centre in Brooklyn, New York, likely will spend several more weeks in Quebec’s Bordeaux jail while U.S. authorities present evidence to back up an extradition request.
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan was arrested along with three other individuals in Ormstown, Que., on Wednesday, September 4, after travelling from his home in Toronto.
Ormstown is about 20 kilometres north of the U.S.-Canadian border.
Canadian authorities report they received information from their U.S. counterparts indicating Khan was involved in a conspiracy to stage a shooting attack on an unspecified location in Brooklyn where he expected to find large numbers of Orthodox Jews.
