During a brief Superior Court hearing today in Montreal, Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, consented to being sent to the U.S. to stand trial.
Khan has been jailed since his arrest on Sept. 4 in Ormstown, Que., at the behest of U.S. authorities.
U.S. officials have charged Khan with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a terrorist organization.
