Pakistani-American faces extradition hearing on NYC attack plot

None

A Pakistani court on Friday delayed the extradition hearing of a Pakistani-American man accused of plotting attacks in New York City for Islamic State without fixing a new date, the man's lawyer said.

 

Talha Haroon, 19, was arrested in Pakistan in 2016 after US authorities identified him as one of three men, along with a Canadian citizen and a man from the Philippines, planning attacks on Manhattan's Times Square and the city's subway.

 

His lawyer and family deny the charges. Haroon's lawyer termed the investigation a sting operation carried out by an investigating officer motivated by career advancement.
