Two Canadian soldiers have been injured in a hit-and-run that is being investigated as a possible terror attack, with the federal government saying there are “clear indications” the suspect in this incident “had become radicalized.”
The Prime Minister’s Office, which played a key role in making the terror allegation public, said the individual under investigation was known to counter-terrorist and law-enforcement officials before the car struck the soldiers Monday about 50 kilometres southeast of Montreal.
The soldiers were hit while they were walking late Monday morning in a shopping mall parking lot, a few kilometres from the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean, the military academy operated by the Department of National Defence.
Within hours of the incident, the Harper government went public with the allegation the hit-and-run may have been the act of a terrorist.
