Four members of a Muslim family are dead and one child is in hospital after a hit-and-run in London, Ont. Sunday, in what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called an act of terrorism.
Police said 20-year-old Nathaniel Veltman intentionally drove a truck into the family who was out for a walk on Sunday evening and he targeted them because of their faith. Veltman now faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. He did not know the victims.
Police have not released the names of the victims, but a statement released by the family identifies them as Salman Afzaal, 46, his 44-year-old wife Madiha Salman, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna Salman and Afzaal’s 74-year-old mother.

Canada declares white nationalist group Proud Boys as terrorists ANI | Updated: Feb 04, 2021 02:40 IST
Ottawa [Canada], February 4 (ANI): Canada has formally designated the Proud Boys an all-male, far-right, white nationalist group as a terrorist entity under its criminal law on Wednesday.
According to The New York Times (NYT), this move could lead to financial seizures and allow police to treat any crimes they commit as terrorist activity.
Canadian government officials say that Canada is the first nation to label the Proud Boys a terrorist group. The events last month in Washington, they added, contributed to the move, which was already under consideration.
