Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau labels as a terrorist attack the killing of four members of a Muslim family, who were run down by a man driving a pickup truck in London, Ontario.

“This killing was no accident. This was a terrorist attack, motivated by hatred, in the heart of one of our communities,” Trudeau says during a speech at the House of Commons.
