00:48Canada: Police shoot man dead in possible "terror attack"
A 25-year-old man was shot dead by police Monday near the Quebec city of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu after striking two Canadian Armed Forces personnel with his vehicle. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) identified the man as Martin Couture-Rouleau, claiming he was known to anti-terrorism investigators as an individual who had taken to "radical Islam."
One of the Canadian Armed Forces personnel struck by Couture-Rouleau's Nissan Altima is in hospital with serious injuries, while the other received only minor injuries. Couture-Rouleau allegedly lost control of his vehicle as he fled the scene, flipping his vehicle upside down in a ditch. Police say he emerged from the vehicle with a knife, prompting them to shoot him.
As Couture-Rouleau fled the scene, he reportedly called a 911 dispatcher and said he was "acting in the name of Allah." He was said to be a "struggling" entrepreneur.
