OTTAWA – The government can expect pointed questions today after a man ran down two members of the Canadian Forces southeast of Montreal before he was shot by police and later died.

The PMO and the Mounties say the man was known to authorities and had become “radicalized” and the government suggested in the Commons it might be a “terror attack”

In the Commons yesterday, a Tory backbencher asked Prime Minister Stephen Harper about “unconfirmed reports of a possible terror attack” against the soldiers, and Harper called the reports “extremely troubling.”
