SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Que. - The car attack that killed a Canadian soldier near Montreal is "clearly linked to terrorist ideology," Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said Tuesday.

Speaking in this military town where a soldier was killed and another was injured Monday, Blaney denounced the "terrible act of violence against our country, against our military, against our values."

Authorities say a radicalized Quebec man ran the soldiers down near a Service Canada outlet that includes a Veterans Affairs office and recruitment centres for the Canadian Forces and the RCMP.

"What took place yesterday (Monday) is clearly linked to terrorist ideology," Blaney told reporters.

"That's why we are offering the support of the RCMP in the ongoing investigation."

Police shot and killed the attacker, Martin "Ahmad" Couture-Rouleau, 25.
