A man who struck two Canadian soldiers with his
car before he was shot dead by police had been "radicalised" and was
known to security officials, Canada's prime minister has said.
The 25-year-old, identified in local media as Martin Couture Rouleau, was killed by officers at St-Jean-sur-Richelieu in Quebec after a car chase.
One of the soldiers died on Tuesday, the other has minor injuries.
PM Stephen Harper said Rouleau had been "radicalised".
An official familiar with the case told the Associated Press that Rouleau had been influenced by extreme Islamists.
