| Canadian parliament killer buried in Libya | ||
| 2015-03-02 | ||
Candian-born Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, whose father is Libyan, was shot and killed by a guard after he had rubbed out a Canadian solider on duty outside the parliament. The Libyan Embassy in Ottawa has confirmed that Zehaf-Bibeau's body was sent to Libya. According to his cousin, Ashraf Zehaf, the body was buried in mid-November in the presence of his father, Bulgasem Zehaf, who had traveled to Libya for the funeral. Libyan consular official in Ottawa Khalifa Al-Ghuwel has confirmed that that Zehaf-Bibeau's body was released to the father to take to Libya for the burial.
According to Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Commissioner Bob Paulson, the "passport issue was central to what ws driving" Zehaf-Bibeau, and the gunman had gone so far as to make a video prior to the attack in which he allegedly expressed his motives as being related "to Canada's foreign policy and in respect of his religious beliefs". According to family members in Libya, however, it was more likely that Zehaf-Bibeau was frustrated after earlier attempts to return to Libya, his father's homeland. "The Canadian government is primarily responsible for all of this," said Zehaf. His Canadian mother told news hounds that her son was simply mentally disturbed. | ||

| #2 Zehaf-Bibeau was 32 years old at the time of his death and was known to be a drug addict suffering with mental issues. He had converted to Islam in 2004 and visited He had a bright career in community organizing and Chicago politics awaiting him, and this had to happen. Tragic, just simply tragic. |
