Terrorist ideology blamed in Canada car attack

SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Quebec: Canadian officials say a man who was shot and killed by police after he struck two members of the Canadian military with his car was “clearly linked to terrorist ideology.”
One of two soldiers hit by a car in a city near Montreal died and authorities are examining whether the driver’s links to radical Islam had spurred the attack. Neighbors said he was a recent convert.
Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney on Tuesday called the attack a “terrible act of violence against our country, against our military and against our values.”
The suspect, Martin Couture Rouleau, 25, was shot Monday by police following a car chase and later died.
