Two suspects arrested in deadly Quebec mosque terror attack

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 men.

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

Heavy.com tends to give pretty balanced information in my experience. But they had nothing useful tk report on the Moroccan.

If it was Sunni or Shiite.

I put my money on Sunni. They do this type of attack daily. The Shiites do plenty of terrorist attacks but generally not at mosques.

"To their credit they said in the article there were no other signs of support elsewhere - the kid also liked the Israeli defense force page?"

Yes, they did point out that has Facebook posts looked very normal, and that there were no signs that he was a political activist or cultist of any stripe, or that he had bizarre interests or expressed bizarre ideas.

"They ran into the mosque, screaming “Allahu Akbar”."

Either it was some sort of intra-Muslim feud, or they were anti-Muslim and being sarcastic or mocking.

I was looking at his Facebook page this morning. Now it’s gone, along with all google references to it.

Coulter’s Law: The longer it takes the media to identify a shooter the less likely he is white and Christian.

Nailed it.

[VAFreedom]

seems like they’re going to push alexandre as the lone “gunmen” being he is white and “pro trump”, and the other ‘suspect’ is now a witness.

[StolarStorm]

It’s all very fishy. I wonder if the Moroccan “witness who called 911” put the other guy up to it. They want attacks on other Muslims to justify their actions and to create a false narrative.

Man, it’s getting to be like China here. The internet gets “purged” of inconvenient truths.
