Canada PM condemns mosque shooting as ‘terrorist attack’

OTTAWA, Canada (AFP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday condemned a Quebec City shooting as a “terrorist attack” after gunmen opened fire at a mosque there, killing at least five.

“We condemn this terrorist attack on Muslims in a center of worship and refuge,” Trudeau said. “Muslim-Canadians are an important part of our national fabric, and these senseless acts have no place in our communities, city, and country.”
