Khan planned the attack to take place on or near October 7, the anniversary of Hamas' brutal attack on mostly unarmed Israeli civilians, which resulted in an unknown number of rapes, roughly 1,200 deaths, and many hostages.
Khan, 20, was arrested near Ormstown, Quebec, approximately 12 miles from the Canadian-American border. He was also considering an attack on October 11, which is Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
He claimed that he planned to use semi-automatic rifles for his attack and stated that he had a "smuggler" to sneak him into the U.S.
He allegedly told the undercover FBI agents that he chose New York City because of its large population of Jews, stating that even if he didn't attack a Jewish event, he could "rack up a lot of Jews." He admitted that he was going to New York City to "kill as many Jews as possible." PJMedia
