Harper defiant against attack on Parliament - The Korea Times (24 Oct 2014)

Ottawa, Ontario (AP) - Two deadly attacks in three days against members of the military stunned Canadians and raised fears their country was being targetted for reprisals for joing the US -led air campaign against an extremist Islamic group in Iraq and Syria.

 

오타와 온트리오 - 군대 멤버들에 대한 삼일동안의 두껀의 치명적인 공격은 캐나다 사람들을 벙벙하게 만들고, 그들 나라가 이라크와 시리아의 극단적인 이슬람 그룹에 대항하는 미국 주도 항공전역에 조인한 것에 대한 보복으로 그들의 나라를 겨냥한다는 공포에 사로잡혔다.

"We will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated," Prime Minister Stephen Harper vowed in a nationally televised address hours after a masked gunman killed a soldier standing guard at Ottawa's war memorial shortly before 10 a.m. on Wednesday. The suspect then stormed Parliament in a dramatic attack that was stopped cold when he was shot to death by the ceremonial sergeant-at-arms.

 Harper called it the country's second terrorist attack in three days. A man Harper described as an "ISIL - inspired terrorist" on Monday ran over two soldiers in a parking lot in Quebec, killing one and injuring another before being shot to death by police. Like the suspect from Wednesday's shooting in Ottawa, he was a recent convert to Islam.

Investigators offered little information about the gunman in Ottawa, identified as 32-year-old petty criminal Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. But Harper said : "In the days to come we will learn about the terrorist and any accomplices he may have had."

 

Witnesses siad the solider posted at the National War Memorial, identified as Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, was gunned down at point-blank range by a man carrying a rifle and dressed all in black, his face half-covered with a scarf.

 

The gunman appeared to raise his arms in triumph, then entered Parliament, a few hundred yards away, where dozen of shots soon rang out, according to witnesses.

 

People fled the complex by scrambling down scaffolding erected for renovations, while others took cover inside as police with reifles and body armor took up positions outside and cordoned off the normally bustling streets around Parliament.
