(Canadian Press) Mounties say they believe an attack on Edmonton City Hall in January was politically motivated, meaning it reaches the legal threshold for terrorism charges.
Supt. Glenn Sells of the RCMP’s national security team said Tuesday that officers had seized an SKS assault-style rifle, three prohibited rifle magazines, about 150 rounds of ammunition and four gasoline-filled Molotov cocktails from the scene.
This highlights the risk to the public and the amount of damage that could have been done that day, Sells said.
Police have said a heavily armed man entered city hall through an underground parkade, fired a gun and lit several small incendiary devices, which caused a small fire outside an elevator.
