U.S. prosecutors are safeguarding classified national security material for the upcoming trial of Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a former Toronto-area resident accused of planning a shooting attack on Jews in New York. Khan, who has pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges, was arrested by the RCMP in Quebec in September 2024 after allegedly attempting to recruit accomplices and acquire weapons. A New York federal court has imposed strict access guidelines for the classified evidence related to the case, which is set to begin on May 26, 2024.
