A 20-year-old man from Pakistan, living in Toronto, was arrested near Montreal this week on charges of plotting to shoot up a Jewish centre in Brooklyn. This is what the people cheering on Hamas mean when they chant “globalize the intifada” on the streets of Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, also known as Shahzeb Jadoon, was arrested Wednesday in the small Quebec town of Ormstown, about 60 kilometres south of Montreal and about 25 kilometres from the border crossing at Covey Hill.

American officials announced the arrest on Thursday saying that Khan faces one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. In Canada, the RCMP announced that he faces charges of attempting to leave Canada to commit an offence for a terrorist group and participating in the activities of a terrorist group.
