"Armenian-Christian" terrorist arrested for attack in Canada

Police have identified the suspect in a deadly van attack in Toronto as Alek Minassian, a 25-year-old man from Richmond Hill, Ont., a suburb north of the city.

Ten people were killed and 15 injured on Monday afternoon after a rented white Ryder van jumped a curb and plowed into pedestrians along an approximately one-kilometre-long stretch of Toronto's busy Yonge Street.

A profile on social networking site LinkedIn identifies Minassian as a student at Seneca College in North York, the north Toronto neighbourhood where the attack took place.

This isn't the first Armenian-Christian terror attack. Armenian-Christians have carried out multiple assassinations against Turkish diplomats through-out Europe and the USA.

Some notable examples are: 1.) The assassination of Erkut Akbay in Lisbon, Portugal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Erkut_Akbay
A group calling itself Justice Commandos of the Armenian Genocide claimed responsibility.

2.) The assassination of Kemal Arkan (1927-1982) who was a Turkish diplomat assassinated by two US citizens of Armenian origin in Los Angeles, United States.
