According to a report, “Police said they received a call about the explosion in the plaza near Hurontario Street and Eglinton Avenue just after 10:30 p.m. and the plaza remained sealed off early Friday. Andre Larrivee, who lives in a nearby condo, says he was watching television and heard a loud explosion. “It was really loud,” he said, comparing the noise to an electric generator that had exploded at a nearby construction site recently.”
The Peel Regional Police are now saying that two suspects are behind the attack. Police say the suspects “detonated an Improvised Explosive Device.” They released images of the suspects below:

An indian restaurant in Mississauga, a moslem majority/stronghold area; it’s either a ramadan jihad marathon (considering just a week ago islamic revolutionary force threatened to attack ontario beaches) Or could be some business rival trying to drive his competitor out (drive-by-shooting are very common among east-indian/punjabi diaspora in Surrey, BC usually done by people in trucking/construction business trying to shoot out & scare away their competitors over trucking or construction contracts).
