World leaders condemn NewZealandTerroristAttack on two mosques in ChristChurch
The world expressed shock and grief after at least 49 people were killed in terrorist attacks at two mosques in Christchurch. New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said it was"one of New Zealand's darkest days."
The timing of the shootings in the city of Christchurch, during Friday prayers, and the posting on social media of what appeared to be live, point-of-view video footage of the assault by a gunman added to the distress."It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack," New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, adding it marked "one of New Zealand's darkest days.
He said Australian security authorities were investigating any links between the country and the attack, but declined to provide further details about the gunman."We are not just allies, we are not just partners, we are family," he said."Indonesia strongly condemns this shooting act, especially at a place of worship while a Friday prayer was ongoing," Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in a statement.
