Quebec mosque attack: Student Alexandre Bissonnette charged says BBC news with this picture of that hero
According to local media, Mr Bissonnette studied political science and anthropology at Laval University, whose campus is about 3km (two miles) away from the mosque.
Francois Deschamps, an official with an advocacy group, Welcome to Refugees, said the suspect was known for his far-right views.
Mr Bissonnette was " known to many activists in Quebec for taking nationalist, pro-Le Pen and anti-feminist positions at Laval University and on social media," Mr Deschamps posted on the organisation's Facebook page.
Quebec City mosque attack suspect known as online troll inspired by French far-right Quebec mosque mass murderers: Alexandre Bissonnette and Mohamed Khadir by
Mr. ROBERT SPENCERIn light of the witness statement that they screamed “Allahu akbar,” it is likely that Bissonnette is a convert to Islam, and that this was, as I suggested last night, a case of Muslims firing upon other Muslims whom they deemed heretical: a Sunni-Shia dispute, or adherents of the Islamic State versus opponents of it, or Sunnis firing upon Ahmadiyya — depending on what kind of mosque it is. But there is no basis at this point for the widespread assumption that this was an “Islamophobic” attack carried out by deranged Trump supporters who wandered north of the border.
THAT IS WHAT MR. SPENCER WROTE ...
These Islamic or non islamic rogues who kill innocent people by reading/trolling right wing/left wing forums /websites tells me the importance of a forum like CEMB and what we write in it., Unfortunately there is none like it on the world wide web .We must keep in mind that criticizing a faith like Islam also related Muslim folks means ., you have a double edged sword in your hand and sometimes IT WILL CUT YOU and cut what you stands for ..any ways
From left to right: Khaled Belkacemi, Azzedine Soufiane, and Aboubaker Thabti ..those are the three victims along with other three.. 15 more are wounded
Khaled Belkacemi, 60
Mr Belkacemi studied chemical engineering in his native Algeria before moving to Canada in the 1980s. He taught food science at Quebec's Laval University and was married to a fellow professor there. His wife was also at the mosque when the shooting occurred during Sunday prayers, but she escaped unhurt.
The head of Laval's food science department, Jean-Claude Dufour, described Mr Belkacemi as "an extraordinary person" who was "always smiling" and "an outstanding teacher who loved his graduate students".
Azzedine Soufiane, 57
Mr Soufiane was born in Morocco and settled in Quebec three decades ago. He ran a halal shop in the suburb of Sainte-Foy and is described as a important member of the local Muslim community.
Karim Elabed, an imam in nearby Levis, said Mr Soufiane had helped many newcomers in Quebec City. "When I arrived here eight years ago, [his shop] was the first place I learned about and pretty much all of Quebec's Muslims did their groceries there," Mr Elabed told Canadian media.
Abdelkrim Hassane, 41
Abdelkrim Hassane studied information technology in Algeria before emigrating. A colleague quoted by the Globe and Mail newspaper said Mr Hassane had lived in Paris and Montreal before settling in Quebec City.
Mr Hassane worked as a programmer for the Quebec government. The colleague, Abderrezak Redouane, said he was "a very peaceful, sensitive man". He had three children.
Mamadou Tanou Barry, 42, and Ibrahima Barry, 39
The two men, described as brothers by Radio Canada, were born in Guinea in West Africa. They are described as IT workers. Mamadou Tanou was a father of two and was reportedly sending money home to Guinea.
"Tanou lost his father three years ago, so it became his responsibility to support not only his family here but also his family in Africa. Now that's all been cut," a family friend told the Globe and Mail. Ibrahima worked for the province's health-insurance agency and had four children.
Aboubaker Thabti, 44
Born in Tunisia, Mr Thabti is reported to have moved to Quebec a decade ago and worked in a pharmacy. He was married with two young children, his brother said on Facebook.
well it is life one way or another way it goes away .,the only thing that stays at least for some time is what we do during our lifetime.
