Stephen Harper: attacks in Quebec and Ottava were terrorist

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper confirmed that both attacks committed this week in the country were terrorist.

Speaking on Thursday at a meeting of the House of Commons, Harper announced the need to strengthen the anti -terrorism legislation and said that such work is already underway.

The Prime Minister emphasized that terrorists will not be able to intimidate Canadians. “We will be careful, but we will not panic,” Harper said.

One of their attacks in Ottawa on October 22-32-year-old Canadian Michael Zeaf-Bibo was already suspicious of the special services, and his foreign passport was canceled. It was he who shot the guard of Nathan Syrian in a military memorial on Wednesday and began to shoot in the parliament building , where he was killed by a sergeant of honorary guard with Kevin Viker.

On October 20, another Canadian soldier died, who was deliberately shot down by a car in the province of Quebec. There was a young Canadian who recently accepted Islam. He was also shot by police.

Canada has already sent its troops and military aircraft to participate in the military operation of the coalition, led by the United States against the militants of the radical group "Islamic State" operating in Syria and Iraq. The decision to support the operation was made by Canadian lawmakers on October 7.
