A former ISIS supporter who entered Canada on a study permit and had plans to use automatic weapons to kill Jewish people in New York City has pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge in a U.S. courtroom.

Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a 21-year-old Pakistani national who had been living in Ontario, appeared before a federal judge in Manhattan this week where he publicly admitted for the first time his participation in a plot to attack a Jewish centre in 2024.
