The gunman who killed a soldier and stormed Canada's parliament made a video of himself before the attack, authorities have said.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissioner Bob Paulson said the video was "persuasive evidence" that Michael Zehaf-Bibeau had "ideological and political motives."
The video is being analysed in detail and has not yet been released.
Zehaf-Bibeau gunned down Corporal Nathan Cirillo at Canada's war memorial in Wednesday's attack in Ottawa.
He was later killed by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers when he caused chaos by storming the capital's parliament building.
A knife carried by the 32-year-old was taken from his aunt's house in Mount Tremblant, Quebec, but detectives are still investigating the origins of the rifle.
"It is an old and uncommon gun. We suspect that he could have similarly hidden the gun on the property but our inquiries continue," they said a statement.
Police added that Zehaf-Bibeau had worked in oil fields in Canada's Alberta province to buy a car and pay for his activities leading up to the attack.
However, in the days leading up to the shooting he had been living in a homeless shelter in Ottawa.

Gallery: How The Ottawa Attack Unfolded
At around 10am on Wednesday, 32-year-old petty criminal Michael Zehaf-Bibeau killed a soldier standing guard at Ottawa's war memorial
-
He then ran into the nearby Canadian Parliament building where he was shot to death by the ceremonial Sergeant-at-Arms
-
Conservative and Liberal MPs were holding their weekly caucus meetings at the time
-
Cabinet minister Tony Clement tweeted that at least 30 shots were heard inside Parliament
-
In a national TV statement, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said: "We will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated"
-
It was the second deadly attack in three days against members of the Canadian military
-
On Monday, a man Harper described as an "ISIL-inspired terrorist" ran over two soldiers in Quebec, killing one and injuring another before being shot to death by police
-
Witnesses said the soldier killed in the latest attack, Cpl Nathan Cirillo, was gunned down at point-blank range by a man carrying a rifle and dressed all in black, his face half-covered with a scarf
-
One said: "The honour guard dropped to the ground, and the shooter kind of raised his arms in triumph holding the rifle"
-
At least three people were treated for minor injuries
-
Some people fled the complex by scrambling down scaffolding erected for renovations
-
Others took cover inside as police with rifles and body armour took up positions outside and cordoned off streets
-
The two attacks have raised fears Canada is being targeted for reprisals for joining the air campaign against Islamic State extremists in Iraq and Syria
-
The National War Memorial contains an arched granite cenotaph, or tomb, with bronze sculptures commemorating World War I

Possible links with others who may have helped the killer are also urgently being investigated.
"The RCMP is confident we will have an authoritative and detailed account of the shooting, including a complete reconstruction of the heroic actions of those involved, in the weeks to come," said Commissioner Paulson.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has called Zehaf-Bibeau's actions a terror attack.
The country recently joined US-led airstrikes against Islamic State fighters in Iraq, viewed by many as ample motivation for a potential revenge attack.
The attack came two days after a man described as an "ISIL-inspired terrorist" ran over two soldiers, killing one of them, in a Quebec car park.
That man had been under surveillance, unlike Zehaf-Bibeau, who was not on a list of around 90 "high-risk" individuals.
