Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the Canadian parliament shooting hero Wednesday at a security conference.
Kevin Vickers, Canadian sergeant-at-arms shot the gunman who stormed parliament last month, visited Israel for the security conference, where he met with Netanyahu and the Knesset Guard, according to Israel Hayom.
"This terrorist attack proved once again that Islamic extremist terrorism knows no borders," Netanyahu said. "Israel and Canada will continue to fight the forces of global terrorism."
Vickers shot dead Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a recent convert to Islam, on Oct. 22 after Zehaf-Bibeau killed a soldier posted at the nearby National War Memorial and then stormed parliament with a handgun and opened fire. Vickers, a 58-year-old former Mountie, shot Zehaf-Bibeau as he moved from behind a pillar to get a better shot at the sergeant-at-arms.
