Terror charges laid against accused in Canada Muslim attack

[AlAhram] Veltman also faces one count of attempted murder due to terrorism activity
Is this right, or is he being railroaded to calm a preferred population? Prosecutors laid terrorism charges Monday against a man accused of driving down and killing four members of a Moslem family in London, Ontario.
The prosecution said Nathaniel Veltman's four counts of first-degree murder constitute an act of terrorism and prosecutors have upgraded those charges under Canada's criminal code. Police allege the incident was a planned and premeditated attack targeting Moslems.
Veltman also faces one count of attempted murder due to terrorism activity.
The upgraded charges were laid as Veltman made a brief court appearance via video Monday morning. He has yet to enter a plea.
Salman Afzaal, 46, his 44-year-old wife Madiha Salman, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna and her 74-year-old grandmother, Talat Afzaal were killed while out for an evening walk on June 6.
The couple's nine-year-old son, Fayez, was maimed but is expected to recover.
Saboor Khan, a friend of the family, said upgrading the charges against Veltman was ``the right thing to do.?
``The family and the community has been terrorized and many of us are afraid to leave our homes,? Khan said.
A funeral for the family drew hundreds of mourners to the Islamic Centre of Southwest Ontario over the weekend.
Veltman's next court date is scheduled for June 21.
