(amNY) A Canadian resident accused of plotting a mass shooting of Jewish people in New York City in support of ISIS pleaded not guilty to two federal charges on Thursday.
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, was arraigned June 12 before Judge Paul Gardephe in the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse in Lower Manhattan following his arrest by Canadian authorities near the U.S.-Canada border on Sept. 4, 2024, and his extradition to the United States on Tuesday, June 10.
Khan, also a Pakistani national, faces a two-count indictment of attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and attempting to commit acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries.
The 20-year-old, who was calm during the proceedings, pleaded not guilty on both counts during the 10-minute arraignment.
