Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a Pakistani citizen residing in Canada, was extradited to the United States earlier this week on charges of attempting to provide material support to ISIS and attempting to mass murder Jews in New York City in the name of ISIS. A day later, US Central Command Chief General Michael Kurilla praised Pakistan for its support against ISIS. Maybe Pakistanis supporting ISIS was all the support against ISIS that US needed.
