MONTREAL — Court documents filed in the case of a Pakistani man arrested in Quebec for an alleged plot to kill Jews in New York City reveal the RCMP didn’t have enough evidence to hold him in Canada.

The RCMP arrested Muhammad Shahzeb Khan on Sept. 4 in Ormstown, Que., as he allegedly prepared to cross the nearby border into the United States.

U.S. officials have charged Khan, 20, with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a terrorist organization — the Islamic State — and they are seeking to have him extradited to stand trial in the Southern District of New York.
