Knife attack kills 2 in Canada

At least two people have been killed and five others injured in a knife attack in Quebec City, Canada.

According to foreign media, the attack took place outside the parliament, but security personnel detained the attacker.

Quebec City police say the attacker was dressed in medieval clothing, but police did not say what caused the attack.

The incident took place at a time when he had said on blasphemous sketches yesterday that freedom of expression should not be used to hurt others.

The majority of Quebec residents speak French.
