Canada mosque shooter says he was motivated by Trudeau welcoming refugees
Source: The Guardian
The man who shot and killed six men at a Canadian mosque told police that his attack was motivated by Justin Trudeaus message of welcome to refugees following Donald Trumps travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries.
Alexandre Bissonnette pleaded guilty last month to six charges of first degree murder and now faces up to 150 years in prison for the attack in which 19 other people were injured.
In video footage of his police interrogation shown during a sentence hearing on Friday, Bissonnette told officers that he had grown increasingly preoccupied by the the threat of terrorism.
But the former social sciences student said the final motivation for his attack was Trudeaus response to Trumps travel ban, when he became convinced his family would be threatened if more refugees came to Canada.
