FOG BLOG CANADA NEWS LOG: FAMILY OF FOUR KILLED IN LONDON ON , ACT OF TERROR, BOY 9 IN HOSPITAL:

A driver slams into a Muslim family, killing four people, in what Canadian PM calls 'a terrorist attack'...Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday called the killing of four members of a Muslim family mowed down by a pickup truck "a terrorist attack."

"Their lives were taken in a brutal, cowardly, and brazen act of violence," the Prime Minister said before the House of Commons. "This killing was no accident. This was a terrorist attack motivated by hatred in the heart of one in our community."

The family of five was waiting at an intersection in the Canadian city of London on Sunday when a driver intentionally mounted the curb and struck them, killing four, because of their Islamic faith, officials said.

"There is evidence that this was a planned, premeditated act, motivated by hate. It is believed that these victims were targeted because they were Muslim," said Detective Superintendent Paul Waight of the London Police. "There is no known previous connection between the suspect and the victims."

Trudeau said the victims were two parents, two children and a grandmother. He identified them as Salman Afzaal, his wife Madiha, and their daughter Yumna. Salman and Madiha's son, Fayez, survived the attack. The grandmother was not identified.

"We all hope that little boy will be able to heal from his injuries quickly even though we know he will have to live a very long time with the sadness, anger and incomprehension caused by the cowardly, Islamophobic attack," Trudeau said.....Officials had not identified the victims before Trudeau's speech. A 74-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene Sunday night and the other four family members -- a 46-year-old man, a 44-year-old woman, a 15-year-old girl, and a 9-year-old boy -- were transported to the hospital by paramedic services. 20-year-old man arrested, charged with murder.
