There appears to be a Canadian connection to the French terrorist attack Friday that saw a man's severed head posted on a fence.
Citing French authorities The Guardian reports that the main suspect, Yassin Salhie, took a selfie with his victim and then forwarded the image to a Canadian mobile number.
One of the officials said the selfie was forwarded via WhatsApp, the popular instant messaging system, to a phone number in Canada. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
Jean-Christophe de Le Rue, a spokesman for Canada’s public safety minister, confirmed Canadian authorities were involved in the case.
“While I cannot comment on operational matters of national security, we are assisting the French authorities with their investigation,” he said.
He declined to comment further on details of the investigation.
The Guardian also reports that the owner of the Canadian phone number is believed to be in Syria at the moment, likely in ISIS controlled territory.

Look at how quickly Europe fell.
Lots of Canadians are cheering for IS and many more for a Muslim Brotherhood version of global caliphate. It’s a mess.
I agree with Dyer that CSIS is on the ball about this stuff. Let’s just hope Bill C-51 gives them what they need to collaborate more effectively with foreign governments to spy globally and hunt these bastards down.
I( am sure you were being sarcastic – however not many Canadians would disagree with you.
Quite frankly if this article title is true it does not surprise me.
Lots of sleepers in Canada.
Moderates will only be moderate until they have the numbers and then they will be radical. This is the same theme that has happened in every western country that has let ’slmics in. Every country.
As it was once said in france – the moderates smile and hold your ankles while the radicals cut off your head.
Becoming more and more true as time goes by.
Does ANYONE give a good G.D. about Canada and we Canadians???
Sure doesn’t seem so to me!
