The investigation into the attack on a transit bus in Surrey, B.C., over the weekend has been taken over by the RCMP national security police and is being treated as terrorism.

Abdul Aziz Kawam was initially charged with attempted murder for allegedly slashing a victim’s throat with a knife on Saturday morning. But on Monday, prosecutors added four counts of terrorism, as a second victim was also allegedly assaulted with a knife.
