Canada will not be ‘intimidated’ by recent deadly attacks on its soldiers, the accomplices to terrorist attacks will be established and detained, while the North American country will continue fighting international terrorism, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in the wake of deadly shootings in Ottawa, APA reports quoting ITAR-TASS.
The Canadian capital of Ottawa is on high security alert after a series of deadly shootings hit the city on Wednesday morning first taking place at the National War Memorial, where a soldier was shot dead, and then moving on to the country’s Parliament.
“Fellow Canadians, in the days to come, we will learn more about the terrorist and any accomplices he may have had,” Harper said in his address to the nation.
“We will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated,” he said.
“In fact, this will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts and those of our national security agencies to take all necessary steps to identify and counter threats and keep Canada safe here at home, just as it will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organizations who brutalize those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores,” the Canadian prime minister said.
