Muslim who attacked 64-year-old woman with hammer and killed her now faces terror charge

“A hammer attack that killed a 64-year-old woman in Toronto on Feb. 21 has been linked by police to terrorism, with the alleged murderer now facing a terrorism-related charge.”

The general tendency is for authorities to cover up acts of terror by Muslims for as long as possible; only when it is no longer possible to do so does there come an admission. But it didn’t take long for Toronto police to link a random, deadly hammer attack by 30-year-old Saad Akhtar on 64-year-old Hang-Kam Annie Chiuto to “terrorism.”

Akhtar’s mother said that “he walked an hour every day to a mosque and back but did not return home on Friday night as usual.”  As prosecutors updated the charge against Saad Akhtar to “murder – terrorist activity,” there is a range of unanswered questions. “RCMP and Toronto police said in a joint news release the attack ‘appears to be an isolated incident and there is no further known threat to the public associated to the accused at this time.'”

The article ends with a truth that is rarely stated in the mainstream media:

The so-called Islamic State has since 2014 been urging followers to conduct attacks using readily-available weapons such as knives and vehicles.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s latest annual report said extremists inspired by ISIS and Al Qaeda were ‘the number one national security threat to public safety in this country. Investigating these threats remains a top priority for CSIS.’

More so, given Trudeau’s open-door immigration policies and his welcome of Islamic State jihadists.

“Deadly Toronto hammer attack was terrorism, police allege,” by Stewart Bell and Catherine McDonald, Global News, February 25, 2020:

A hammer attack that killed a 64-year-old woman in Toronto on Feb. 21 has been linked by police to terrorism, with the alleged murderer now facing a terrorism-related charge.

Saad Akhtar, 30, was already facing a first-degree murder charge over the apparently random killing of the woman, attacked by a man with a hammer on Friday evening.

But on Tuesday, prosecutors updated charge to “murder – terrorist activity.” The charge applies to a murder “if the act or omission constituting the offence also constitutes a terrorist activity.”

The RCMP and Toronto police said in a joint news release the attack “appears to be an isolated incident and there is no further known threat to the public associated to the accused at this time.”

The victim has been identified by police as Hang-Kam Annie Chiu. She was walking on Toronto’s Sheppard Ave. East near Markham Rd. when she was attacked at around 7 p.m.

The accused’s mother told Global News she had no idea who the victim was, calling Chiu “a stranger” to the family and her son.

Akhtar turned himself in to the Toronto Police Service’s 42 Division following the attack.

“As part of our investigation into the homicide, we came across evidence that lead us to believe there may be a terrorism-related offence,” said Toronto police spokesperson Meaghan Gray….
