A gunman disguised as a police officer shot people in their homes and set fires in a rampage across the Canadian province of Nova Scotia that killed 16 people, the deadliest such attack in the country's history. Officials said on April 16 the suspected shooter was also dead.

Canadian police have found no explosive device on board the Turkish Airlines plane flying from New York to Istanbul that was diverted to the Halifax Airport in Canada, officials say.

No "suspicions packages" were discovered as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, according to an announcement by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for Nova Scotia.

A Turkish Airlines plane flying from New York to Istanbul was diverted to Canada on Nov. 22 because of a bomb threat, but police said no explosives were found.
 
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said the plane, with 256 passengers and crew, landed at Halifax Stanfield International Airport early Sunday after being alerted to the bomb threat.
 

Canadian police arrested 10 youths at Montreal's Trudeau International Airport last weekend after suspecting them of wanting to go to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group.

The gunman who killed a soldier in Ottawa and then raced through Canada's parliament before being shot dead was a misfit and perhaps mentally ill, according to police, friends and family, while his troubled and transient past included robbery and drug offences.
