http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/10/27/police-say-ottawa-gunman-driven-by-ideological-political-motives/?intcmp=latestnewsCanadian authorities said late Sunday that the gunman who fatally shot a soldier and attacked the Parliament building in Ottawa last week had "ideological and political" motives.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said in a statement that Michael Zehaf-Bibeau had made a video of himself prior to committing Wednesday's attack. No details of the video's contents were released, but CBC News reported that the gunman appeared to make specific references to Canadian foreign policy in the video and praises Allah. CBC also reported that the video appeared to have been made the day before the attack and would be released publicly later this week.
Zehaf-Bibeau, a 32-year-old Muslim convert with a history of criminal activity, gunned down Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was guarding the National War Memorial, before entering Parliament's Centre Block, where he was killed by House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers.
