CURIOSER AND CURIOSER – AT 9:09 A.M. ET: As you know, there was a mass shooting attack at a Canadian mosque last night. From CNN:
Quebec City (CNN) Six people are dead after a shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, according to Quebec Provincial Police. Eight people were injured. The attack, which took place at the city's Quebec Islamic Cultural Center, is being investigated as an act of terrorism by police.
In what was described as a coordinated attack, witnesses say at least two gunmen wearing black fired indiscriminately into the dozens of worshipers -- including families -- in the mosque.
Thirty-nine people who were at the mosque during shooting were unharmed, Christine Coulombe, spokeswoman of National Police of Quebec, said. Of the eight injured, six are described as being in critical condition.
Two people have been arrested, a police said at a news conference. One was captured near the mosque and the other was apprehended on a highway nearby.
COMMENT: And that's the point. We alluded to it last night. Two suspects are in custody, but police will tell us nothing about them. And the press...well, it's having the proverbial field day, pointing out that the attack occurred only days after President Trump issued his immigration order.
Why are the police withholding information on the alleged attackers? Is it because their identity doesn't meet the political requirements of Canada's left-wing government? This is getting very curious.
BULLETIN: Fox is just now reporting the following:
One of two gunmen who shouted 'Allahu akbar!' as they opened fire at a mosque in Quebec City was of Moroccan origin, a witness and local media reported Monday, revealing the first details about the attackers in the massacre that killed six people.
The terror suspects were identified as Mohamed Khadir and Alexandre Bissonnette, the Canadian TV network TVA Nouvelles reported. They were arrested soon after the shooting at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre Sunday night and were expected to appear in court later Monday, police told reporters.
One of the gunmen actually turned himself in, calling 911 less than 20 minutes later and giving officers his location so they could arrest him, police said.
COMMENT: Now we seem to be getting somewhere. It appears that at least one of the alleged gunmen is Muslim. We await further information.
