Canadian family killed in hit-and-run was targeted for being Muslim: Police

The Canadian police on Monday said that the four members of a family who were killed in a hit-and-run case on Sunday were deliberately targeted for being Muslim.

Four members of a Canadian Muslim family who were killed on Sunday when a pickup truck jumped the curb and ran them over were deliberately targeted in an anti-Islamic hate crime, Canadian police said on Monday. I’m horrified by the news from London, Ontario. To the loved ones of those who were terrorized by yesterday’s act of hatred, we are here for you. We are also here for the child who remains in hospital - our hearts go out to you, and you will be in our thoughts as you recover. "There is evidence that this was a planned, premeditated act, motivated by hate," Detective Superintendent Paul Waight of the London, Ontario, police told reporters. "It is believed that these victims were targeted because they were Muslim," Waight said.
