Ottawa shootings per the BBC News

The BBC's report on the Ottawa Islamist terrorist attacks includes these two lines...

'Earlier this month, Canada announced plans to join the US-led campaign of air strikes against Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq.

However there is no official confirmation that any of this week's attacks are linked to IS or the new military campaign.'

Might the lack of official confirmation be because these Islamist terrorist attacks are just part of Islamist terrorists war on non Muslims? It's a war that's been going for many years, whether the BBC chooses to believe it or not.
