This would have been the largest attack on U.S. soil since 9/11.

However, first, there was an arrest in Vegas—a teen convert to Islam who wanted to kill Jews. And since there has been another arrest in what appears to be a more sophisticated plot.

This from frontpagemag.com.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a Pakistani moslem living in Canada, planned to carry out terrorist attacks against Jews in New York.

Khan was arrested on Wednesday on charges filed in the United States, the Justice Department said Friday

Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement:

The defendant is alleged to have planned a terrorist attack in New York City around October 7 of this year with the stated goal of slaughtering, in the name of (the Islamic State), as many Jewish people as possible.

Further:

Thanks to the investigative work of the FBI, and the quick action of our Canadian law enforcement partners, the defendant was taken into custody.

According to the criminal complaint, Khan planned to travel to New York and carry out a mass shooting in support of the Islamic State group at a Jewish center in Brooklyn on the anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.

As reported:

[Khan] revealed his plans in conversations with conspirators who were actually undercover law enforcement officers.

Khan was taken into custody by Canadian authorities in the town of Ormstown some 12 miles from the U.S.-Canada border.

The Justice Department said it will seek his extradition from Canada.

Khan is charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. He could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

There was an unnamed American moslem also involved:

During those conversations, Khan confirmed that he and a U.S.-based ISIS supporter (Associate-1) had been planning to carry out an attack in a particular U.S. city (City-1). Among other things, Khan said that he had been actively attempting to create ‘a real offline cell’ of ISIS supporters to carry out a ‘coordinated assault’ in City-1 using AR-style rifles to ‘target[] Israeli Jewish chabads . . . scattered all around [City-1].’

During subsequent conversations, Khan repeatedly instructed the UCs to obtain AR-style assault rifles, ammunition, and other materials to carry out the attacks, and identified the specific locations in City-1 where the attacks would take place. Khan also provided details about how he would cross the border from Canada into the United States to conduct the attacks. During these conversations with the UCs, Khan emphasized that ‘Oct 7th and oct 11th are the best days for targeting the jews’ because ‘oct 7 they will surely have some protests and oct 11 is yom.kippur.’

Khan boasted that ‘New york is perfect to target jews’ because it has the ‘largest Jewish population In america’ and therefore, ‘even if we dont attack a[n] Event[,] we could rack up easily a lot of jews.’ Khan proclaimed that ‘we are going to nyc to slaughter them,’ and sent a photograph of the specific area inside of Location-1 where he planned to carry out the attack.

Thereafter, Khan continued to urge the UCs to acquire AR-style rifles, ammunition, and other equipment for his attack, including ‘some good hunting [knives] so we can slit their throats.’ Khan repeatedly reiterated his desire to carry out the attack in support of ISIS, and discussed planning for the attack, including by identifying rental properties close to Location-1 and paying for a human smuggler to help him reach and cross the border from Canada into the United States. During one communication, Khan noted that ‘if we succeed with our plan this would be the largest Attack on US soil since 9/11.’

The northern border has always been the great question mark for Islamic terrorist attacks. While people tend to focus on the threat of Islamic terrorists crossing the border, and a number have been arrested this year, Canada has a much larger moslem population, and the only cross-border terror plots, like the Millennium plot, were coming out of Canada. That makes sense since there are active Islamic terrorist operations in Canada, but not so much in Mexico. Despite that, the northern border tends to have fairly little scrutiny.

Khan’s plot focused on mass shootings at Jewish centers. In keeping with the original Oct 7 attacks, which were originally scheduled for the first night of Passover before being postponed for the end of the High Holy Days, and the Yom Kippur War, which the attacks partially commemorated.

The focus on Jewish holidays shows that the underlying issue is a religious Islamic war on non-moslems.

(Similarly, there have been a rash of Christmas terror plots and attacks on other holidays of non-moslem religions.)

Khan’s attack, like most failed terror plots, is easy to laugh off, but the Pulse massacre, which racked up one of the country’s deadliest tolls, looked like the work of a loser. We’ve already seen that two heavily armed men in a crowded space can make for a massacre. And Khan was apparently trying to top the Pulse total.

While top government officials, including recently Gov. Tim Walz, continue to prop up Islamic terrorists, the war goes on, and while these last two ISIS-adjacent plots targeted Jews, ISIS plots in Europe were aimed at everything from the Olympics to Taylor Swift concerts.

The goal is to murder non-moslems in the most brutal way possible by slitting their throats and by killing them on their holy days.

Beware: This IS NOT an aberration. This IS Islam.
