Officials say a blast that left 15 people injured at a busy Indian restaurant west of Toronto is not believed to be a hate crime or an act of terrorism.
The hunt continues for the two men believed to be behind the explosion.
Police are calling last night's blast at the Bombay Bhel restaurant in Mississauga an isolated incident and say they have no information suggesting a current threat to public safety.
Two birthday parties were taking place at the restaurant when an improvised explosive device went off, but none of the young children present were hurt.
Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie, who visited the site of the explosion today, was shocked by the brazenness of the incident.
Crombie was visibly emotional as she called it a heinous, reprehensible act, committed by cowards who would come into a restaurant where people are vulnerable.
She vowed those responsible will be found and brought to justice.
Police say two men walked into the restaurant around 10:30 p.m. -- detonated an improvised explosive device -- and then fled the scene on foot before jumping into an unidentified vehicle.
Those injured in the explosion ranged in age from 23 to 69.
Three of the victims had initially been listed in critical condition but police say all have now been released from hospital.
Peel region police Chief Jennifer Evans says there's no indication that this is a terrorist act or a hate crime.
The restaurant issued a brief Facebook statement describing the attack as ``extremely horrific and sad'' and thanked those who expressed their support.
