Pakistan man accused in US consulate plot ordered held
Canadian immigration officials have arrested a Pakistani man who they say was plotting to attack the US consulate and other buildings in Toronto's financial district.
At a hearing Wednesday, Canadian authorities said Jahanzab Malik -- a self-proclaimed supporter of the Islamic State and al-Qaeda who received weapons training in Libya -- told an undercover police officer about his plans involving remote control explosives. Malik, a 33-year-old who came to Canada as a student in 2004 and became a permanent resident in 2009, was arrested Monday. The Canadian government is looking to deport him. It wasn't clear why he hasn't been charged with any crimes. He was ordered kept in custody on Wednesday pending deportation.
