Trudeau Wears Protective Vest at Rally; Threat Not Disclosed

Associated Press

   MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau donned an
   armored vest and appeared with a heavy security detail at a major
   election rally Saturday.

   Officials would not reveal the nature of the threat. It resulted in a
   90-minute delay before Trudeau appeared before about 2,000 supporters
   who had turned out as the election campaign ahead of the Oct. 21 vote.

   Trudeau wore a suit jacket rather than his usual rolled-up sleeves and
   loosened tie, and was wearing a vest, which was noticeable in photos
   taken at the event.

   Trudeau was escorted through crowd by a large number of plainclothes
   Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers as well as Mounties dressed in
   green tactical gear.
