A summary of other terrorism incidents and major security breaches in Ottawa and across Canada:
2009: Twenty Greenpeace protesters climbed to the top of two of the buildings on Parliament Hill and unfurled banners protesting Canadian action on climate change and the oil sands. The RCMP responded by significantly boosting its presence on the Hill.
2006: The so-called Toronto 18 terror group plotted to blow up the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Toronto office of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, a military base near Toronto, and storm the parliament buildings and behead the prime minister. Eleven jihadists were convicted.
1997: A Quebec man drove a Jeep up the steps of Centre Block and stopped just short of crashing into the doors.
1995: A night prowler carrying a small knife evaded RCMP security, slipped into 24 Sussex Drive and made it to the bedroom door of a sleeping prime minister Jean Chretien and his wife, Aline. The prime minister famously grabbed an Inuit stone carving for protection and the couple called for help.
1992: An angry mob of up to 40 people armed with clubs and believed to be expatriate Iranians ransacked the embassy of Iran on Metcalfe Street. The ambassador and two employees suffered minor injuries.
1989: An armed man hijacked a Greyhound bus on the front lawn of Parliament Hill. The eight-hour standoff ended when he surrendered peacefully to police.
1986: A gunman held a female diplomat hostage at the former site of the Bahamian High Commission on Kent Street. The man demanded a friend be released from a Kingston prison and that a Lowertown firehall be turned over to the poor. He surrendered peacefully 15 hours later without his conditions being met.
1985: An Armenian-Canadian terror cell attacked the Turkish Embassy in Ottawa, killing a security guard.
1985: Sikh militants were suspected in the bombing of Air India flight 182 from Montreal to Delhi that claimed 329 lives, including 286 Canadians.
1982: Direct Action, a tiny B.C. gang of self-styled anarchists, bombed the Litton Industries plant in Toronto.
1982: Turkish embassy military attaché Col. Atilla Altikat was driving to work and stopped at a red light at Island Park Drive and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway when a gunman pulled up and fired about 10 shots from a handgun toward the father of two. Altikat died at the wheel. The killer was never caught.
1982: A commercial counsellor attached to the Turkish embassy, Kani Gungor, was shot outside his home and left paralyzed.
1970: The FLQ triggered the 1970 October Crisis with the kidnappings of British Trade Commissioner James Cross and Quebec labour minister Pierre Laporte, who was later executed.
1966: Paul Joseph Chartier accidentally blew himself up in Centre Block with 10 sticks of dynamite. He had gone into a washroom near the House of Commons public galleries and lit the fuse, but misjudged the timing of the detonation. The bomb went off just as he left the washroom. The unemployed Toronto security guard left a note revealing he had planned to toss the explosives onto the floor of the Commons and “exterminate as many members as possible.” No one else was hurt.
Early 1960s: The Sons of Freedom emerged from the otherwise pacifist Doukhobor sect in British Columbia. Over about four years, the group blew up railway tracks, hydro towers and other industrial and government targets in the province.
