Toronto ISIS Jihadist Muhammad Khan Planned Terror Attack Brooklyn Heights Jewish Ctr Terrorists fire shots at US Consulate in Toronto

UPDATE; March 10, 2026, Terrorists fire shots at US Consulate in Toronto in ‘absolutely unacceptable’ attack. Nothing good comes out of Toronto Canada. Shots were fired at the US Consulate in Toronto early Tuesday in the latest attack on an American diplomatic outpost amid the ongoing war with Iran. At a late morning news conference, Toronto police said they were looking for two men in a white Honda CR-V. Investigators believe the men stopped in front of the consulate around 4:30 a.m. and fired shots from a handgun at the building.

UPDATE Nov 30, 2024, CANADA TERROR CENTRAL, The National Post of Canada, citing statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), noted Friday that 87 percent of individuals identified as “terror suspects” trying to enter America through a land border came from Canada. “Terror suspect” refers to individuals identified in the American “Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS),” an expansive list that includes individuals facing legal action for terrorism, confirmed to be members of terrorist organizations, or others with family ties to individuals identified as terrorists or others affiliated with people suspected of having ties to foreign or domestic terrorist organizations. Their appearance in the TSDS does not guarantee that they are terrorists, and the individuals identified in the National Post report are those who attempted to enter America legally, not the unknowns crossing the border while evading law enforcement. The consistent high percentage of TSDS-listed individuals stopped at the Canadian border nonetheless brings attention to national security concerns in the north that are often eclipsed by calls to secure the more crowded and chaotic southern border with Mexico. The Canadian newspaper highlighted the data in the context of President-elect Donald Trump announcing on Monday that he is considering imposing a 25-percent tariff on Canadian goods, and Mexican goods, until both countries help contain what he described as out-of-control mass migration, human trafficking, drug trafficking, and other transnational crime. “In the last fiscal year, 358 individuals on the terror watchlist were stopped at a Canadian border crossing, as compared to 52 stopped at a Mexican border crossing,” the National Post reported. “And this has been the ratio for the entire post-COVID era.” “In 2022, Canada yielded 82 percent of the 380 terror suspects stopped at a U.S. land border crossing. In 2023, Canada yielded 86 percent of the 564 total suspects stopped at a land border crossing,” it observed. Only thing Toronto Canada is good for is terrorists and the mob!

Toronto ISIS Jihadist Muhammad Shahzeb Khan Planned Terror Attack at Brooklyn Heights Chabad Jewish Center in New York City. ISIS terrorist Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a/k/a “Shahzeb Jadoon.  Islam is the second-largest religion in Canada. Toronto, the heart of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), boasts a significant Muslim population of 626,015 including nearby  Mississauga which has been a hotbed of Muslim extremists and terrorists for decades. When a father and son were arrested this summer 2024 in Toronto, Ontario over an alleged terrorist plot, U.S. authorities say the news spooked a 20-year-old Pakistani national and Canadian resident named Muhammad Shahzeb Khan. They say Muhammad Khan used encrypted messaging to warn that because of the arrests “here in Toronto,” there was a need to “lay low” on his own alleged plans: killing as many Jewish people as possible at Chabad Lubavitch Center Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn New York around the Oct. 7 anniversary of Hamas’ attack on Israel. 

In a complaint filed in New York’s southern district the day of Khan’s arrest, FBI special agent Khajae Hester said Khan used encrypted messaging apps to communicate with undercover agents posing as willing participants in the plot, asking them to buy “automatic and semi-automatic weapons.” The complaint says that since last November, Khan “repeatedly and explicitly expressed his support for ISIS and his desire to carry out terrorist attacks in support of ISIS.” The complaint says Khan boasted the mass shooting would be “the largest attack on US soil since 9/11.” It said he would face one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a terrorist organization. The U.S. complaint against Khan alleges he told the officers of his desire to create “a real off-line cell” of the Islamic State, directing them to obtain assault rifles and ammunition and “some good hunting (knives) so we can slit the throats of Jews.”

Starting Dec 26, 2025 Trump administration requiring non-citizens including Canadians staying over 30 days to register with U.S. Immigration. Trump administration's renewed enforcement of the Alien Registration Act (INA), most non-citizens (including Canadians) staying over 30 days must register with U.S. Immigration (DHS) by April 11, 2025, with a separate rule requiring Canadian border crossings starting December 26, 2025, to use facial biometrics, turning these into serious compliance requirements with potential fines and jail time for non-compliance, as detailed in advisories from late 2024/early 2025. There's a major U.S. immigration policy shift under the Trump administration requiring most non-citizens, including Canadians staying over 30 days, to register with U.S. authorities, a rule effective April 11, 2025, with penalties for non-compliance, though many already documented individuals (like Green Card holders, those with I-94s) are considered registered, but still must carry proof. 

This "Alien Registration Requirement" (ARR) mandates carrying proof of status and reporting address changes, with registration done via USCIS, creating new burdens for some Canadians. Beginning Dec. 26, 2025, all non-Americans—including Canadians—who stay in the U.S. longer than 30 days must register with US Govt! Mandatory registration for non-Americans, including Canadians, staying over 30 days starts Dec. 26, 2025, reflects a significant, existing U.S. immigration law (Alien Registration Act of 1940, part of the INA) that was newly enforced and broadened in 2025 by the Trump administration, requiring registration for many, particularly those entering by land without an I-94, but generally not impacting short-term visitors with standard visas or I-94s. Key aspects include creating a USCIS account, potentially submitting Form G-325R, getting biometrics, and carrying proof, with failure to comply carrying criminal penalties. The E-2 Treaty Investor Visa: For Canadians who make a substantial investment (e.g., buying or starting a restaurant, auto repair shop, clinic) and own at least 50% of the U.S. business, allowing them to live and work in the U.S.. In my interaction with men from Toronto Canada and Alberta Canada, who own a business and who live part time in Sarasota Fl, I find them to be thugs and grafters.

Ottawa is looking into reports that a Canadian who starred in an ISIS propaganda video has been killed in northern Syria while fighting for the terrorist group, as the Conservatives prepare to table new anti-terror legislation. John Maguire, 23, who used the name Abu Anwar Al-Canadi, was killed in the city of Kobani, according to a pro-ISIS Twitter account. Maguire, a former University of Ottawa student, had tried to encourage attacks on Canadian soil in a video posted online last December. He also directly threatened Canadians in the video, which was shot among the ruins of an unidentified town. "Your people will be indiscriminately targeted, as you indiscriminately target our people," he said. In the video, Maguire said he was a typical Canadian kid who "grew up on the hockey rink," had good grades at school and no criminal record. The Prime Minister’s Office said it was aware of reports Maguire had been killed, and was “seeking additional information on them.” The Public Safety Minister’s office released a statement saying it could not speak about specific cases, but warned other Canadians planning to join ISIS, also known as ISIL and the Islamic State.

TERROR MOSQUE: Al Rahman Islamic Center for Islamic Education Mississauga, Ontario, Canada west of Toronto. Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, was among six regulars at the mosque who was arrested. MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, June 4 — At least 6 of the 17 people arrested by Canadian authorities in a sweeping counter-terrorism operation over the weekend regularly attended the same storefront mosque in this middle-class Toronto suburb of modest brick rental townhouses and well-kept lawns, fellow worshipers said Sunday. Their attendance at the mosque, Al-Rahman Islamic Centre for Islamic Education, is one of the few public pieces of information that clearly link any of the suspects — 12 adults and 5 youths — in one of the biggest anti-terrorism arrests in North America since the Sept. 11 attacks.

2020 Terrorist Incidents: The following terrorist attacks occurred in Canada: On February 21, Saad Akhtar allegedly killed a Toronto woman in a hammer attack inspired by violent radical Islamic beliefs. He faces a charge of “first-degree murder — including terrorist activity.”

An Ontario Superior Court in February ordered Omar Khadr in 2020 to answer questions related to a wrongful death suit emanating from a confession he signed during his time as a detainee at Guantanamo Bay. Khadr claimed he did not present a defense to the Utah-based suit, owing to lack of funds, and argued that enforcement of the Utah judgment would be contrary to Canadian public policy.

On August 26 2020, authorities arrested Toronto resident Haleema Mustafa on two terrorism-related charges, alleging she departed Canada in 2019 for Turkey to join ISIS in Syria. Her husband, Ikar Mao, was arrested later that year on the same charges.

In an opinion published in July, Canada’s Federal Court ruled May 15 2020 that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) obtained some terrorism-related warrants for alleged foreign fighters based on illegally acquired information

TORONTO 18 TERROR PLOT: One was a plan to bomb the Toronto Stock Exchange and other prominent buildings. The other, Gillespie says, was "the attempt to create a large al-Qaeda type cell in Toronto — to arm themselves with weapons, and then to create some sort of mayhem that would scare the Canadian public into withdrawing troops from Afghanistan." Seven adults admitted guilt in the affair. The courts also convicted four men, one of whom was a minor at the time of his arrest. Charges against seven other individuals were stayed or dropped.

Trump orders US Military to strike Tehran over uncontrolled Iranian nuclear program and support of terrorism just like episode of Dana Eden's Tehran

The US and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran Saturday morning and again on Sunday morning local time, killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Trump confirmed in a Truth Social post. Four members of the Iranian supreme leader’s family were also killed. The president is also considering immunity for the ayatollah’s supporters if they agreed to stop fighting. The airstrikes are a response to the regime’s refusal to dismantle its nuclear program following weeks of talks — and as the US increased its military presence in the Middle East after President Trump warned Tehran there would be consequences if a deal was not reached. Israel later confirmed that the joint strikes targeted the Supreme Leader and Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian. “It’s a very simple message. They will never have a nuclear weapon,” Trump vowed in a video message posted on Truth Social just before 3 a.m. March 1st, 2026.

TEHRAN creator and executive producer Dane Eden found dead in Athens Hotel room. An Athens coroner noted bruises on her neck and lower extremities. Israeli media reports of Greek police investigating a possible link to Iran. Dana Eden, the 52-year-old co-creator and producer of the acclaimed Apple TV+ spy thriller mega hit Tehran, was found dead in an Athens, Greece, hotel room on February 15, 2026, while filming the show's fourth season. Iranian Revolutionary Guard has very active spy network in Greece. Within hours, Athens police had launched an official inquiry of Dana Eden's death, taking testimony from hotel staff and ordering security camera footage to be handed over. The award-winning TV executive, who won an Emmy for producing the Apple TV series TEHRAN, was a prominent figure in Israel’s flourishing TV industry. She had been in Athens since February 4th, 2026 working on the latest season of the spy thriller. TEHRAN has been described by the New York Times as so persuasively plausible in its portrayal of Israel’s famed intelligence agency, Mossad, that “even the FBI director endorsed it”. 

IRGC Operative Admits To Assassination Plots In Europe. Based on reports and investigations, particularly from Iran International, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been employing methods to eliminate internal threats or suspected spies or dissidents within its own ranks or outside the country that are designed to appear as natural deaths or suicides, take note! An operative of Iran's IRGC Qods Force held in a European country has admitted to plotting assassinations in Turkey, Greece, Germany and France, diplomatic sources say. There is the very high certainty the plots were connected to the Islamic Republic's promise to take revenge against the United States for the 2020 assassination of Revolutionary Guard Corps, Quds Force Commander Ghasem Soleimani. NOTE* In Dana Eden's TEHRAN 2nd season an episode featured the assassination of Qasem Mohammadi recently promoted to head of the Revolutionary Guards Quds Force Commander, art imitates real life! Mossad agent Tamar manages to kill the Revolutionary Guards boss Qasem Mohammadi with the explosive mobile phone. I'm sure the bosses in Iran just loved that episode mocking the death of their Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force Commander Ghasem Soleimani! Mossad should be actively investigating the death of Dana Eden with any links to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Quds Force .

Iranian Revolutionary Guard Active Spy Network in Greece While Iran Shutters US & Israeli Spies Inside Iran Sounds Like Episode of Dana Eden's "Tehran". Israel’s Mossad has identified Sardar Ammar, head of Iran’s Quds Force Unit 11000, as the leader of a covert network accused of orchestrating attacks and kidnappings against Jewish targets worldwide, from Greece and Turkey to Australia. Targeting Israeli and Western interests in Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, and Europe, the IRGC uses "Unit 840" to orchestrate assassination plots, such as those targeting individuals in London. Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) agents and affiliated networks have been active in Greece, primarily targeting campaign. Mossad identified an IRGC Quds Force unit plotting attacks in Greece during 2024-2025. Greek authorities have thwarted these efforts, including a 2023 plot by a cell in Athens and the 2025 arrest of an agent suspected of espionage. Israel's Mossad named IRGC commander Sardar Ammar, operating under Esmail Ghaani, as directing a network targeting Israeli/Jewish locations in Greece, Germany, and Australia. Greek authorities uncovered a terror cell in Athens in April 2023, arresting two Pakistanis of Iranian origin who were plotting attacks against a Jewish community center. Israel’s Mossad has identified Sardar Ammar, head of Iran’s Quds Force Unit 11000, as the leader of a covert network accused of orchestrating attacks and kidnappings against Jewish targets worldwide, from Greece and Turkey to Australia. The cell was directed by a fellow countryman in Iran. Sounds like multiple episodes of producer/creator Dana Eden's "Tehran".

The intelligence division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in late 2025 it had dismantled what it described as a spy network directed by US and Israeli spy agencies inside Iran. The announcement comes in the wake of a broad campaign of arrests and executions that Iranian authorities launched after Israeli assassinations of nuclear scientists and hundreds of military personnel and civilians during a June war exposed deep intelligence lapses. According to a statement published by the IRGC’s intelligence arm, the group had been “created by hostile services using deceived and traitorous elements to undermine the country’s security in the second half of this autumn.” The statement added that the network was detected and taken down “after several rounds of surveillance, monitoring, and intelligence operations." It said its members were arrested “through the vigilance of the anonymous soldiers of Imam Zaman,” a term Iranian authorities use to refer to IRGC intelligence agents. Major General Mohammad Pakpour is the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as of June 13, 2025. Appointed by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, he succeeded Hossein Salami, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike, LOL. Sounds like episodes of producer/creator Dana Eden's "Tehran".The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force in Tehran maintains an extensive, covert spy network across the Mediterranean, utilizing criminal gangs and local agents for intelligence gathering and terrorist operations.

Epstein Files are on Computers Stashed in 6 Florida Storage Units by Private Investigators in Palm Beach, Delray Beach and Pinellas County Fl

Epstein Files are on Computers Stashed in 6 Florida Storage Units by Private Investigators in Palm Beach, Delray Beach and Pinellas County Fl. Epstein used licensed private investigators in Florida to hide his computers in storage units because the PI's cannot deluge client information without a court order signed by a Judge. Confidentiality Requirements: Florida Statute 493.6119 stipulates that licensees cannot divulge information from an investigative file, except to the client or upon lawful order. In Florida, licensed private investigators are legally restricted from disclosing client information or investigative files to third parties without authorization, as established by Florida Statute 493.6119. Newly released files, emails, and images from 2026 have confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein maintained a network of hidden cameras in his residences, which he used to record visitors and victims, often for blackmail purposes. Evidence shows these surveillance devices were installed inside everyday objects like Kleenex boxes and clocks.

UPDATED Feb 28, 2026 AP & NYP...Epstein hid secret computer files in storage units across Florida, the pedophile paid private detectives to remove equipment from his home in apparent attempt to thwart investigators. The documents also show that he rented six storage units across the Florida and used them to house items from his properties, including computers from Little Saint James, his private island in the Caribbean. The computers are stashed in storage units in Palm Beach, Delray Beach and Pinellas County Fl. By the time Palm Beach police raided Jeffrey Epstein's mansion, the evidence they sought was gone. Three computers were missing from the home, leaving only loose ⁠wires and keyboards behind. Newly surfaced documents indicate that Epstein had private investigators remove the computers and lock them in storage units across Palm Beach County and beyond. Epstein continued making monthly payments to one such Royal Palm Beach storage facility until 2019, the year he died in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. Prosecutors suspected the computers contained evidence relevant to Epstein's sex-trafficking operation, including emails arranging encounters with underage girls, digital records documenting payments and surveillance-camera footage generated inside Epstein's mansion.

Internal correspondence between Epstein's attorneys and private investigators, as well as previously sealed court filings, suggest that the disgraced financier went to extreme lengths to hide the potential evidence during the critical three-year period when local and federal law enforcement began investigating him before he secured a lenient plea deal that allowed him to avoid a lengthy prison sentence. Less than two weeks before the Palm Beach Police Department raided Epstein's mansion in October 2005, a private investigator retained by Roy Black, a criminal defense lawyer for the disgraced financier, removed a trove of evidence from the home, including multiple computers, more than two dozen phone directories, and sexually explicit material, according to documents released by the DOJ.

The FBI believed a private investigator near Miami named Paul Lavery took the three computers and gave them to Bill Riley, a private investigator with the firm Riley Kiraly. An email from Riley to Epstein confirmed it. "Over the weekend I learned that plaintiff's counsel are looking to get from me the computers and paperwork I ⁠took from Jeff's house prior to the Search Warrant," Riley wrote, the email among the thousands recently produced by the Justice Department. "I have them locked in storage and would like to know what to do with ⁠them". Credit card data show Epstein paid the Riley Kiraly agency $38,500 from January to May 2010. The agency also sought payment for invoices outside that time-frame. Private investigators were also asked to open a secret storage unit in New York on his behalf, while being paid tens of thousands of dollars for their work.

By 2007, a federal ⁠grand jury had issued subpoenas ordering the private investigators to appear before ​the grand jury and produce all computer ⁠equipment removed from Epstein’s Palm Beach residence, any computers ever owned by Epstein and records documenting the relationship between Epstein and the investigators. Although the subpoenas were directed at the private investigators, Epstein’s attorneys – who, on paper, hired the investigators – moved quickly to intervene. They asked a federal judge to quash ⁠the subpoenas, arguing that forcing investigators to turn over the ‌computers would violate Epstein’s constitutional rights and pierce the confidentiality of his legal defense.
