New video shows Canada parliament gunman praying for guidance before attack
Unedited film shows Islam convert cursing foes before storming Canadian Parliament
A gunman who fatally shot a soldier in Canada's capital last October, and then stormed Parliament, prayed for guidance and cursed his foes, previously unreleased sections of a video he made before the attacks show.
Michael Zehaf-Bibeau made the short video on his cell phone, sitting in a car, before launching his attacks in Ottawa on October 22. The unedited video was released by police on Friday.
A Canadian convert to Islam, Zehaf-Bibeau died in a gun battle with police and security guards shortly after entering the Parliament building.
The majority of Zehaf-Bibeau's video was released in March, except for about 18 seconds that had been held back for what the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) called operational reasons.
The full video shows Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, beginning with a commonplace Muslim prayer.
"Lord open for me my chest, ease my task for me and remove the impediment from my speech," he said in Arabic, according to the subtitles supplied by the RCMP.
