There is no evidence so
far that a gunman who attacked Canada's parliament had links to Middle
Eastern Islamist extremists, the government has said.
Foreign Minister John Baird told the BBC gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau was "certainly radicalised", but was not on a list of high-risk individuals.
Zehaf-Bibeau killed a soldier at Ottawa's war memorial before being shot dead in the nearby parliament building.
Police have released video showing how the gunman stormed parliament.
It has also emerged that Prime Minister Stephen Harper hid in a cupboard in parliament for about 15 minutes during Wednesday's attack as MPs sharpened flagpoles to use as spears against the gunman.
