Even as Toronto was still reeling from a horrific van attack that left at least 10 dead, the city’s mayor was making sure he and his people were not accused of “jumping to conclusions” that the incident might be related to radical Islamic terror.
Police apprehended the attacker, who has been charged with 10 counts of first degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder, but his rationale for driving a huge van into a crowd of people on a Toronto sidewalk is still unclear. His attack “had the hallmarks of deadly vehicle assaults by Islamic State supporters,” Reuters reported, and the attacker is rumored to have suggested he was about to “incite a rebellion” on social media, but Justin Trudeau’s government says they aren’t convinced just yet.
