OTTAWA, June 7 (Reuters) - Four people killed after a car jumped the curb and ran into them on Sunday night were deliberately targeted in an anti-Islamic hate crime, Canadian police said on Monday.

 

“It was pre-planned and premeditated and that’s why first degree murder charges were laid,” London Detective Superintendent Paul Waight told reporters.

Waight said police in London, about 200 km (120 miles) southwest of Toronto, were liaising with the Royal Mounted Canadian Police on potentially filing terrorism charges.
