Explosion in Canadian restaurant wounds 15 people

TORONTO (AP) — An explosion caused by “improvised explosive device” ripped through an Indian restaurant in a mall in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, wounding 15 people, Canadian police said.
Peel Region Sergeant Matt Bertram said two suspects with their faces covered to conceal their identity entered the Bombay Bhel restaurant, and dropped some sort of IED device and fled.
“We have no indication to call it a hate crime or any kind of terrorism act,” Bertram said.
Peel Region paramedic Joe Korstanje said three people suffered critical injuries and were taken to the hospital while the remaining 12 victims suffered what he described as minor and superficial injuries.


The explosion happened just after 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, and the plaza where the restaurant is located was still sealed off on Friday.
“Nothing was said by these individuals,” Bertram said. “It appears they just went in, dropped off this device, and took off right away.”
Bertram said they couldn’t say what the device was yet.

this is nothing short or censorship for the Canadians. I've heard the rumors as well. If true, it does not bode well for the Canadians, who'll just let anyone in.

"...these people..." -- please clarify, who is "these people". Thank you. I understand that India has a long-standing beef with Pakistan. I understand that there's internal Indian strife. I haven't seen anything to suggest a specific group. Thanks St. James.

There isn't, but two international stories in a few months could make someone think that.

I think it's either a personal beef, or something tied to an external conflict.

I doubt this this is a broad attack on Canadian society, but rather a very targeted attack.
