According to NY TIMES
The Canadian police said on Thursday that, despite his extensive criminal record in three cities, plans to travel to Syria and an embrace of extremist ideas, the gunman who killed a ceremonial military guard before storming Parliament had not been flagged as a potential security threat, police said on Thursday.
Acknowledging they did not know he was in Ottawa. giubbe While offering a detailed description of Wednesday’s events, which included chilling videos of Michael Zenaf-Bibeau’s arrival on Parliament Hill, Commissioner Robert Paulson of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said that while the gunman’s motives remained largely unknown, he was confident that he acted alone and had no strong ties to other extremists. Nevertheless, the head of Canada’s national police, said that much remained a mystery about the shooting frenzy that led to Mr. Zenaf-Bibeau’s death, trapped thousands of people in downtown Ottawa and, at one point, left Prime Minister Stephen Harper without bodyguards and separated only by a wooden door from a gun battle.
“The R.C.M.P. did not even know Mr. Zenaf was in Ottawa,” Commissioner Paulson said during a lengthy news conference. “We need to look at all operations to deal with this difficult and hard to understand threat.”
