They were fathers, one was a businessman, one a university professor - men gathered for evening prayers at a Quebec City mosque when it was attacked in a shooting that authorities call a terrorist act. Six people were killed and 19 others wounded in the attack yesterday on the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre in the provincial capital. Today, community members talked about some of the men who died:Azzedine Soufiane, 57A grocer and butcher with three children. "Mr Soufiane was someone who was well known in Quebec because he opened one of the first community businesses here," said Elabed, an imam at a mosque in nearby Levis, Quebec. "Our university community is in mourning today," rector Denis Briere said in a statement.
