A 27-year-old man entered an army recruitment center in Toronto carrying a knife and stabbed two soldiers who worked there before being subdued by six or eight other soldiers. Both the injured soldiers and the attacker are now recovering in the hospital. No information has been given out by the authorities, so the Mohammed Coefficient of the case cannot yet be determined, but the Toronto police chief says there may be a connection with terrorism.
