Khan attempted to travel from Canada to the United States where he intended to use automatic and semi-automatic weapons to carry out the attack, according to the indictment. Suspect's broken homelife: A mom with multiple drug arrests and a dad who gave him an AR-15 for ChristmasKhan told two undercover law enforcement officers of his plans to create “a real offline cell” of Islamic State supporters to carry out an attack, the indictment alleged.He instructed them to obtain AR-style assault rifles, ammunition and other materials to carry out the attacks, and identified specific locations where the attacks would take place.
