Sun adds this: “The suspect drove off after running down the soldiers in the parking lot of an automobile insurance outlet, police said. Cops gave chase and the suspect lost control and rolled his car, which came to rest on its roof at the bottom of a ditch. The suspect allegedly crawled out a window with a long knife. Eyewitnesses say the man charged at a female police officer. ‘I heard them (police) shout several times, “Get out of the car, get out of the car and raise your hands,”‘ one woman said. ‘The man got out towards the police officer. Then that’s when we heard seven gunshots, then the man was on the ground.'”
There is no statement that the suspect was a Muslim, but this CBC News report says it was a “possible terror attack” and that authorities knew of the suspect and “were concerned that he had become radicalized.”
Blazing Cat Fur has a report that he called 9/11 during the chase and said he was acting “in the name of Allah.”
Other instances of possible vehicular jihad have been shrouded in mystery. New York City cabdriver Mohammed Azam ran over two of his passengers for no apparent reason. Another cabbie, Hassan Daly, who was described as a “devout Muslim,” plowed his cab into a crowd on a sidewalk in San Diego, injuring over 24 people. Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar explicitly grounded his hit-and-run in the teachings of the Koran. Munir Muthana told the police who arrested him that “the Muslims will fix this country.” Omeed Aziz Popal, we were told, was suffering from stress from an arranged marriage. Ismail Yassin Mohamed, we were informed, was mentally ill, suffered from depression, and hadn’t being taking his medication. And Muhammad Teshale, according to “law enforcement officials,” “did it to be famous.”
“Driver shot by police after hitting 2 soldiers in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu has died,” CBC News, October 20, 2014:
A driver who was shot by police after striking two Canadian Forces members in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., earlier today has died.
Quebec provincial police said the 25-year-old man was a resident of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and was known to police, but would not elaborate how.
“We are at the beginning of an investigation. Several hypotheses are being looked at,” said Sgt. Michel Brunet, adding that investigators would study various angles, including mental illness and terrorism.
Police confirmed the suspect’s death Monday evening, several hours after he was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The incident began at around 11:30 a.m. ET when the two soldiers were hit in a parking lot of a commercial plaza. Both were injured, one critically.
The incident was raised in the House of Commons this afternoon by Conservative MP Randy Hoback, who questioned Prime Minister Stephen Harper about “unconfirmed reports of a possible terror attack” targeting members of the Canadian Forces.
Harper, reading from a piece of paper, would only say he was “aware of these reports” and that they are troubling.
The government did not specify the source of the reports mentioned by Hoback.
Suspect possibly ‘radicalized’The RCMP issued a statement late Monday evening, confirming the suspect was also known to federal authorities.
“This individual was known to federal authorities including our Integrated National Security Investigations team in Montreal who along with other authorities were concerned that he had become radicalized. Out of respect and deference to the ongoing criminal investigation arising from today’s terrible events, the RCMP will not comment further except to say that we are working with our law enforcement partners to ensure all avenues of investigation are pursued,” the statement said.
Police have not named the soldiers but confirmed at an afternoon news conference that they were members of the Forces….
Dbs says
Well, we’re the two soldiers killed? What a terrible report. However, glad the driver was shot dead.
Christian says
One soldier died today
shrugger says
I don’t see any mention as to whether to two soldiers are alright. =/
UnEasyOne says
I think we can assume so.
Heh.
Off topic, but I would sure like to be observing (from a safe distance) when the brave IS fighters take off in their stolen MIGS and encounter the Israeli Air Force.
Heh. I wonder if the israelis will bother to use more than one plane? Unfortunately, I’ll be hugely surprised if they even manage to get them off the ground. Possible, maybe, with Russian help, but the Israelis may not like the idea.
Christian says
The soldier in critical condition died today.
John says
These sort of incidents will unfortuately keep rising as the Caliphate issues orders to all Muslims around the world. They will only be happy when they can cause as much chaos as possible !

That’s how me must deal with these vermins: Shoot to kill.
Please don’t waste our time and our money. No more lengthy trials.
Don McKellar says
Wow. You read reports like this, let alone the beheading maniacs, and you look at all the criminal jihadi faces in mugshots with their dead, inhuman eyes, and you eventually come to believe that these moslems are demonically possessed. I mean, what the hell is going on with them?
deja vu says
‘….and you eventually come to believe that these moslems are demonically possessed.’
Totally agree. I reached that conclusion a while ago. Nothing else can explain the total lack of humanity displayed in their fiendish deeds. It is raw evil at its most diabolical to sink to the level of beheading babies and children and putting their heads on a stake. Surely we are witnessing the beginning of unrestrained hell on earth.
Gardener says
Where did Islamic fanatics behead babies and children and put their heads on a stake?
bernie says
Google the Beslan massacre in 2004. Also, ISIL has been doing similar things to children of Christian, Shiite, Kurdish and Yazidi background more recently.
Undaunted says
No need to Google anything; read all of this, every link.

Islam is a cult of mass sociopathic psychosis, which ravages the minds of all who embrace it like rabies does the minds of animals…..and we euthanize animals with rabies, because there is no remedy.

Nothing to see here, it’s just “roadside violence”, move along.
Jay Boo says
Let’s hope the news media does not call it ‘Road Rage’ as they attempted to do in Chapel Hill North Carolina.
On 03/05/06 at UNC-Chapel Hill, NC Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar drove SUV off the roadway into students because they DIDN’T LOOK MUSLIM.
That behavior is RACISM.
It is also clearly a “HATE CRIME.”
So how did the news media react?
At first they suggested it might be terrorism but quickly backed off in appeasement.
Even as all the sordid Islamic details were revealed they dared not venture off the appeasing path, since to hold this SUV TERROIST accountable might appear as Islamophobic.
Although Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar had PLOTTED an attack over two years and this specific attack was PREMEDITATED during the preceding two months the news media still redacted the “T” word.
The news media then came up with a euphemistic buzz word phrase — ROAD RAGE INCIDENT.
ROAD RAGE is impulsive anger between drivers on the (roadway).
INCIDENT is something that “just happens expectantly.
Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar deliberately drove off the campus lane into a pedestrian only area into unsuspecting students who offended him because they appeared to be non-Muslim.
Although the media failed to say this was a RACIST inspired HATE CRIME, they did at least finally concede that it was after all a premeditated terrorist act and the justice system held him accountable.
Did Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar accept responsibility for his actions? “Well not exactly”
He wrote, “In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate, I am a servant of Allah.
Allah’s commandments are never to be questioned and all of Allah’s commandments must be obeyed. Those who violate Allah’s commandments and purposefully follow human fabrication and falsehood as their religion will burn in fire for eternity in accordance with Allah’s will.”
Did he read the words in his own last sentence?
“…human fabrication and falsehood as their religion…”
pumbar says
Fill the airbags with bacon bits.
Ayatrollah says
Wait, stop the Islamiphobia.
It was later revealed the man had worked as a taxi driver. This is clearly workplace violence and road rage.
No Islam to see here. Keep moving.
Ayatrollah says
Since this guy was known to be trouble, they must know what mosque he was going to, or what web sites he used and became a “radical”. Should be easy to know what happened. They just have to look at old reports?
Grant Olson says
This isn’t about Islam. It’s about violent movies with soldiers in it. Yeah, that’s it. Violent movies!
Lily says
No Grant, it is about a stick figure cartoon of Mohamud.
Elaine Goode says
God’s world 1. Muslims 0.
SPez says
One injured Cdn soldier passed away early Tues morning, RIP.
The next attacks that may occur are radicalized individuals (the political correct way of calling the Islamic terrorists) is that 3-5 will run through a large shopping mall stabbing everyone in sight. Then they’ll declare themselves, “natural born killers” and blame Woody Harrelson.
Wellington says
The burden to the Western world which is Islam continues. And what a burden it is. Islam is a burden to the West, and really to all the world, in sundry ways that no other major faith remotely is.
Islam is despicable. It is a perversion of the Judeo-Christian religious framework. Muslims are, at best, clueless about the religion they profess allegiance to. At worst, they are simply evil.
The reputed founder of Islam demonstrated numerous psychopathic tendencies. ‘Bout time this became common knowledge.
The biggest problem remains not Islam but the continued excuse making for Islam. As with Islam, this excuse making for this wretched religion is despicable too.
Uncle Vladdi says
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s PMO said he’d “been Radicalized.”
How about simply telling the truth, and admitting that “he was a muslim!”?
Jeff says
To Ben Affleck- Are there any voices coming from the “billion muslims” condemning this act of murderous religious hatred? NO. This is what is really “gross”- attacking and killing people because they do not believe and act as you believe and act, and not your absurd argument that it is “racist and gross” to condemn the ideas (and those who support those ideas) that fly in the face of the right (at least in the free world) to think and speak “as you will.” Maybe you would be better off living in a society that does not permit this. I suggest you give Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan a try immediately.
