Police have arrested two students – one 'of Moroccan origin' - over the murder of six people shot dead in the Quebec City mosque carnage two days after Canada's Prime Minister condemned Donald Trump's immigration ban.
Gunmen opened fire on worshippers as they prayed at Quebec City Islamic Cultural Center at around 8pm last night in an attack branded 'cowardly' and 'barbaric'.
Witnesses claimed the masked killers shouted 'Allahu Akbar' in what sounded like a Quebecois accent as they went on the rampage, killing six and leaving eight injured.
Police have arrested two people with one said to be 'of Moroccan origin' and both understood to be students from Quebec's Université Laval.
The shooting unfolded after a weekend which has seen US President Donald Trump's divisive and controversial 'Muslim immigration ban' spark widespread protests across America. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said that his country remains open to all immigration, insisting 'diversity is our strength'.
One attack suspect was detained at the mosque and the other was caught after a chase that ended near l'île d'Orléans around 15 miles from the scene. There are reports this morning that one suspect called emergency services to 'confess to his crime' because he 'felt bad' about the atrocity and wanted to shoot himself.
According to Le Soleil, the 27-year-old's Mitsubishi was pursued towards Félix-Leclerc highway before he stopped the vehicle himself. He is said to have had at least one handgun and two weapons 'that resembled AK-47s' on his back seat. The same website says searches have since taken place at two addresses in the city.

Canada, O Canada ... get rid of your socialist government.
Does he need more Muslims,
take ours
Moroccans speak French, don’t they?
Yup.
Trudeau isn’t smart enough to realize how dumb he is.
Radical vs. Moderate?
They just can’t resist blaming Trump. Muslim ban? That’s not what it is... and maybe Socanada should take a look at it further.
It will be interesting to find out these guy’s immigration history.
In before the NTR (not terrorism related)
“Moroccans speak French, don’t they?”
Looks like it was split between France and Spain in colonial days. But Syria was a French-only colony. So lots of people in those countries very likely speak at least some French.
Watch this disappear from the media’s radar.
If it happens in the United States the families of the victims should sue Obama.
Allahu Akbar,eh
On the radio in Toronto they’ve been calling this an islamophobic attack. The left here has no shame.
Looks like we need a wall on our northern border too.
Many do. It was called French Morocco at one time.
Bringing Middle Eastern Carnage to North American. Well Canadians, how do you feel about uncontrolled Islamic migration now.
Edit to add: Aren’t AK’s banned?
Don’t need to bring in the Muslims to the United States let them swim here
And the lead paragraph lies about the executive order. Stopped reading right there...
