Ontario: Two people bombed an Indian restaurant outside Toronto on Thursday night, injuring 15 people, four of them critically, officials said.
The blast happened around 10:30 p.m. at the Bombay Bhel restaurant in Mississauga, Ontario, a sprawling suburban city just west of Toronto. Police official said the bombers entered the restaurant and put down what appeared to be a pail or a paint can, which then detonated as the attackers fled down the street.
The bombing comes just a month after the driver of a van plowed into pedestrians in Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring 14 more. The suspect in that attack, Alek Minassian, intentionally struck the victims in what was likely to count as Canada’s deadliest vehicular assault.
Sergeant Bertram said that the bombers in Thursday’s attack were both light-skinned men, and wore hoodies pulled up over their heads and face coverings.
