Murder of Shakeel Khan Halal Bites Rest Riverside Dr Johnson City NY was terrorist assassination, Shakeel Khan was CIA in Pakistan now $5 Mill Reward.

The murder of Shakeel Khan owner of Halal Bites Rest on Riverside Dr Johnson City NY was a terrorist assassination in 2019. Shakeel Khan was CIA in Pakistan now there is a $5 Mill Reward for info that leads to an arrest from the US Rewards for Justice program. Shakeel Khan appears to be CIA and was working against the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the SWAT Region of Pakistan, he is a hero. Back on November 9th, 2020 I wrote, FBI now offering a $50,000 reward for info on who murdered Shakeel Khan outside his Halal Bites restaurant on Riverside Drive Johnson City NY on Saturday night March 30th, 2019 at about 10:00 pm. Interestingly the FBI confirms what I first said that his murder was a "targeted hit", an assassination. FBI claims Shakeel Khan was killed execution style in their recent poster, no money was taken, not a robbery. Not often that the FBI gets involved with a local murder, the case must have some interstate or international connection with the assassins, and true to form I was right.

Back on Friday April 5th, 2019, NY STATE POLICE MAJOR CRIMES UNIT to assist Johnson City NY police detectives in unsolved murder of Muslim Rest. owner Shakeel Khan. JC cops are receiving help from New York State Police investigators in the effort to find the man or men who killed a village restaurant owner. Police Chief Brent Dodge said "a lot of manpower" is being employed in the effort to determine who shot Shakeel Khan as he closed his Riverside Drive business Saturday night. Dodge said the state police major crimes unit, along with its computer crimes and forensic investigators are providing assistance. Not very often that the owner of a restaurant is shot and killed while closing up and no money was taken, Shakeel Khan was shot multiple times, this was a hit. The crew that murdered Shakeel Khan in Johnson City NY on March 30th, 2019 were not locals, most like out of

It appears to me two or more people conspired to murder Shakeel Khan, rumor mill says hit-men from New Jersey. Most Likely a 3 man team, a driver, a spotter, and a shooter. There had to be surveillance of the restaurant by the assassins, inside and out, they would have watched him close up and know his car in the parking lot in several dry runs. I would estimate someone drove the masked man dressed all in black to the hit, waited and provided a quick get away for the shooter once Khan was down, this was planned. Mr Khan came to the U.S. specifically Brooklyn, New York in 2002 or 2003 (after 9/11 attack) depends n who you believe, from the SWAT region of Pakistan (he most likely CIA) and moved to Johnson City Broome County NY in 2017, two years later he was murdered.

The Rewards for Justice program does not offer $5 million dollar rewards for info on murders of ordinary citizens, Shakeel Khan was CIA in Pakistan. I have been involved with the US Rewards for Justice program in Florida, I know how it works and who it rewards and why. Most very likely Shakeel Khan had been or was a paid and protected Federal Confidential Informant (CI) of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Pakistan prior to the 9/11 attacks, he shows up in Brooklyn NY in 2002 or 2003, depends on who you believe. On March 23, 2023 The U.S. Department of State’s Rewards for Justice (RFJ) program, which is administered by the Diplomatic Security Service, is offering a reward of up to $5 million for certain information leading to the arrest or conviction in any country of any individual, who committed, attempted or conspired to commit, or aided or abetted in the commission of the murder of Shakeel Khan.

Shakeel Khan, a lawful permanent resident of the United States, was murdered outside his place of employment in Johnson City, New York on March 30, 2019. Shakeel Khan, a native of the Swat region in Pakistan (Taliban), was openly involved in political activities opposing terrorist organization Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) (the Taliban) in that country. Shakeel Khan was CIA, he was a hero! Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is a conglomerate of violent insurgent groups operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan that seek to overthrow the state of Pakistan.Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is based in the SWAT Region of Pakistan. Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is a conglomerate of around 40 tribal and non-tribal Pakistani militant groups fighting against the state of Pakistan and the U.S.-led coalition forces. TTP had previously fought in Afghanistan alongside with both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, and the group has maintained close ties to both organizations since, and Shakeel Khan went up against them in Pakistan!

The Swat region of Pakistan was under effective control of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) from roughly 2000 to 2009. During this time, militants led by Maulana Fazlullah enforced a strict interpretation of Sharia law, targeting girls' schools, banning media, and performing public executions in what residents termed "Khooni Chowk". The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force are investigating the murder of Shakeel Khan. In November 2020, the FBI issued a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the murder. 

Times Square Bomb Plot: Faisal Shahzad a Pakistani American who attempted the May 1st, 2010 Times Square car bombing, was arrested after he had boarded Emirates Flight 202 to Dubai UAE. On June 21, 2010, in Federal District Court in Manhattan Faisal Shahzad confessed to 10 counts arising from the bombing attempt. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) financed and backed Faisal Shahzad. In upstate NY, Shakeel Khan was murdered in Johnson City NY in 2019, he was a native of the Swat region in Pakistan (Taliban country). Shakeel Khan was openly involved in political activities opposing the terrorist organization Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The terrorist organization Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) sponsored Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American who lived in Connecticut, to undertake an attack in New York City’s Times Square on May 1, 2010. In July 2010, video footage emerged of Faisal Shahzad embracing Hakimullah Mehsud, the leader of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan TTP. Pakistan’s interior minister, Rehman Malik, told reporters that Faisla Shahzad “visited Pakistan seven times and he met Hakimullah Mehsud and also met other people of the TTP, those so-called leaders of the Taliban.” I do not think the media in Johnson City -Binghamton - Broome County NY has any idea how big a deal the assassination of Shakeel Khan is!
