Secretary of state Sahota says 'foreign entity' hired people to shoot at synagogues

  • On Thursday, Secretary of State for Combatting Crime Ruby Sahota told the House of Commons that individuals who fired shots at synagogues were hired and paid by a 'foreign entity,' suggesting they were recruited online.
  • Addressing the government's 'lawful access' bill, Sahota noted that victims and police chiefs are questioning why the legislation has faced significant delays in the House.
  • Police are investigating nearly 30 shootings across the Greater Toronto Area linked to criminal-for-hire networks, where teens are allegedly recruited via encrypted apps to attack Jewish schools and other targets.

  • Investigators now seek to identify the organizers behind these attacks, as evidence shows participants often film their acts for payment proof, indicating the network's expansive reach across the Toronto area.
