  • 15 wounded in bomb blast at restaurant in Canada

    At least 15 people were hurt around 10:30 p.m. local time when an improvised explosive device was detonated at Bombay Bhel Indian, according to authorities in Mississauga, a city immediately southwest of Toronto.

    The three severely injured individuals were taken to a trauma center in Toronto, police said.

    Peel Regional Police said they're still currently looking for two male suspects who fled the scene.

    The investigation is ongoing and, at this time, the attack is not being treated as terrorism or a hate crime, police said.

    Thankfully, no one was killed. How is this not terrorism?

    Maybe because many liberals appear to view "hate crimes" as being even worse than terrorism they're leaving the door open.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      Because Canadians are too politically correct - polite - to call them terrorists.

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        We had an explosion in my city. It may have been by the ex-boyfriend and business partner of the woman who died.
        (Maybe the guy couldn't pass the psych test to get a gun?)

            The first is not entirely impossible, though the public location makes that relatively unlikely.

              Yeah this doesn't happen in Canada too often. I'll have to follow the story. I'm still waiting to hear about the motive of the guy who drove his car along the sidewalk in Toronto.

                I think for 'terrorism' it has to be done for political reasons. Maybe they don't think that was the motive?

                  The suspects are still at large, there's almost no way of knowing until they are caught.

                    which is why they probably aren't claiming it is terrorism yet.

                      I think our definition of terrorism is coloured by the media to mean Islamic terrorism.

                      I think it's terrorism when somebody tows your car, but that's me.

                      Regardless of who did this, and for whatever reason, it is still terrorism, as it instills fear in the hearts of the populace.

                        I agree- terrorism has become something of a loaded term over the last few years with all sorts of connotations. Perhaps when they catch the people who did it they may then amend it and confirm terrorism- I much prefer it when the police wait for confirmation before saying anything.

                        For what it's worth I do agree with calling it terrorism under the definition of your final paragraph.

                          If you expand the word terrorism to mean any violent crime that worries the public, it's diluted beyond useful meaning.

                          It is appropriate not to declare this terrorism if the motive is completely unknown.

                            I'm not saying that it must be declared terrorism; it's just that, in the overwhelming majority of cases, setting off a bomb in a public place is terrorism. Private feuds are usually prosecuted in private.

                              Or insurance fraud.

                              But most likely terrorism.
