Public Safety Minister Bill Blair confirmed on Thursday that police are investigating the deadly hit-and-run attack in London, Ont. They were clearly racist and they were clearly an act of terror," Blair said in an interview on CBC's Power & Politics. On Sunday, four people — Salman Afzaal, 46, his wife Madiha Salman, 44, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna Afzaal and Salman Afzaal's 74-year-old mother — were killed when a pickup truck drove into them as they were walking. Investigators in London say the driver of the truck, 20-year-old Nathaniel Veltman, targeted the family because they are Muslim. He has so far been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
