OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney today marked the fourth anniversary of a hate-motivated vehicle attack that took the lives of four members of a Muslim family in London, Ont., in 2021.
Carney called the deadly truck attack on the Afzaal family a “heinous act of terrorism” during a speech at an Eid al-Adha celebration hosted by the Muslim Association of Canada in Ottawa.
The man who killed them was convicted of terrorism, four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in 2023.
Carney also remarked in his speech on the values of Eid, such as community, sacrifice and generosity.
