Terrorists usually go for targets of opportunity, and a mall is a very soft target.
I'm leaning towards the supposition that this has something to do with Canada's decision to join the US led airstrikes.

but I suspect that the person I was responding to wasn't referring to the ISIL terrorists.
Regardless, I'll bet this has to do with Canada's decision to join the airstrikes.
