At least 15 people were wounded, three critically, in the bombing of a restaurant in the city of Mississauga, Canada.
Regional police said they were searching for two men seen wearing hoodies, walking into the Bombay Bhel restaurant in Canada’s sixth-largest city, throwing an improvised explosive device into the establishment, then fleeing on foot.
According to Reuters, the explosion occurred at 10:30 p.m. local time Thursday.
There was no immediate report regarding a possible motive for the crime.
In a Twitter post, the Peel Regional Police posted a still shot from security camera footage at the restaurant showing the two suspected bombers, both dressed in dark hoodies, with faces covered.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
