"U.S. Intelligence Community and Federal Agents Foil ISIS Terror Plot Targeting NYC Jewish Communities: A Coordinated Effort Prevents Major Attack, Demonstrating the Strength of Intelligence and Counterterrorism in Protecting American Lives."
NEW YORK - Nyenta -- Federal agents, working closely with Canadian authorities, recently foiled a significant ISIS-inspired terror plot targeting Jewish communities in New York City. The plot, set for early October 2024, was part of a coordinated plan to coincide with the anniversary of the 2023 Hamas invasion of Israel. The arrest of 20-year-old Pakistani national Muhammad Shahzeb Khan marks a critical success for intelligence operations and interagency cooperation.
The U.S. intelligence community played a pivotal role in identifying and tracking Khan, who had been radicalized online in 2023. Using sophisticated monitoring and undercover operations, intelligence officers were able to engage Khan, gathering vital information on his plans. His communications with undercover agents revealed a deeply disturbing scheme: Khan aimed to carry out mass shootings at Chabad synagogues and other Jewish centers in New York, using AR-15 rifles and military-style equipment to inflict mass casualties.

This case highlights the critical role of intelligence in preventing domestic terrorism. Despite ISIS's territorial defeat, its ability to inspire attacks through digital propaganda remains a grave threat. Online radicalization is increasingly being tackled through coordinated efforts between federal intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and allied nations like Canada.
Khan's capture, made possible through seamless collaboration between the U.S. and Canadian authorities, underscores the importance of international intelligence-sharing. It was only through this cooperation that law enforcement in both countries were able to apprehend Khan before he could cross into the U.S. to finalize his attack plans. The arrest exemplifies the enhanced effectiveness of interagency collaboration in counterterrorism efforts.
Khan now faces charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. His case serves as a stark reminder that online spaces continue to be exploited by extremist groups for recruitment and incitement to violence, making intelligence-driven monitoring and international partnerships more vital than ever in the fight against terrorism.
