The man who gunned down a Canadian soldier before storming into Parliament on Wednesday, where he was shot dead, was not under surveillance, nor on a list of about 90 travelers being monitored by Canadian police, officials said at a news conference Thursday. Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, had been in Ottawa since at least Oct. 2 to "deal with a passport issue, but was hoping to leave for Syria," Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissioner Bob Paulson said. Zehaf-Bibeau, who may have had a dual citizenship with Libya, had several low-level criminal offenses, but was not deemed to be a threat to national security.
