Mohammad Moiz Omar, 24, entered a mosque on March 19, 2022 and allegedly attacked those inside with bear spray while brandishing a hatchet
Police said the Public Prosecution Service of Canada and Attorney General of Canada agreed Wednesday to the commencement of terrorism proceedings in the case.
“Our service is committed to continue to working with our partners and the community to ensure that hate and violence have no place in our community.” “It just goes to show how violent Islamophobia continues to be an existential threat to our community members,” said the mosque’s imam, Ibrahim Hindy. The mosque and the NCCM say attendees of the morning prayer service when the attack happened are traumatized and many have sought mental health services.
