One of two Canadian soldiers run down in suspected terror attack near Montreal dies of his injuries
Source: The National Post
The driver of a car who rammed two Canadian Forces members near Montreal before being shot dead by police was known to counter-terrorism authorities who believed he had become radicalized, the RCMP said on Monday as they continued to investigate the possible terrorist attack.
This individual was known to federal authorities including our Integrated National Security Investigations team in Montreal who along with other authorities were concerned that he had become radicalized, the RCMP said in a statement. The force declined further comment.
The 25-year-old, known as Martin Ahmad Rouleau, allegedly hit two members of the Canadian Forces as they were walking in a strip mall just outside St-Jean-sur-Richelieu at about 11:30 a.m.
Early Tuesday, one of two soldiers hit by the car died of his injuries, Quebec provincial police said. The soldiers name was not released at the request of the family.

(21,088 posts)Two (or three?) shooters only, and only one death reported besides a gunman. But yeah, coming just a couple of days after the Quebec incident, this is going to change some things around here. Maybe we can import some of those nice colour-coded terror indexes - DHS must still have some lying around!

Seems that today's attack corroborates the govts account.

These guys were (and are) roaming free around Canada.

The Syrian jihad inspired thousands all over the world and in western countries. It's going to be hard to keep track of all of them.
This movement should have been nipped in the bud instead of being funded to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars and allowed to spread unchecked all over social media.
Of course it's too late now, so we have to give up more of our freedoms.
One day I hope we'll stand up to the neocons and not allow them to play with our safety and security.
