A homemade bomb has exploded at a restaurant in Mississauga, Canada's sixth largest city, injuring 15 people.

Police said two suspects entered the Bombay Bhel restaurant in the Ontario city late on Thursday and detonated the improvised explosive device.

Ambulance services said that three of the 15 people taken to hospital had "critical blast injuries".

Two male suspects fled the scene immediately after the explosion in the city, which is near Toronto.

1. Awful

2. Surprised Mississaugua is #6

I mean - Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Quebec, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax ........... Mississauga is larger than some of those??

3. In this "municipality" list, it's bigger than Vancouver

because that is split into Vancouver proper, Surrey and more:

5. I had thought Vancouver was bigger than it is

Mississauga is also now the third largest city on the Great Lakes (Chicago and Toronto are bigger).

7. Like the Greater Toronto Area that includes Mississauga, Vancouver is made up

of many cities.

6. Definitely bigger than Halifax or Winnipeg.

9. And Quebec City

8. Yes, as you can tell by the list

For a few years in the 80s, it was the fastest growing city in North America.

If it wasn't right beside Toronto it would be more well known in its own right.

4. What a sick mind to think this act of terrorism is okay.
