The New Zealander, who lives in Sydney, had never been to Al Noor Mosque before the attack. Something's missingIn a one-storey house a short drive from Al Noor mosque, Zahra Fathy turned pages in a photo album compiled by her husband Hussein Moustafa, who died in the massacre. After some trepidation, Mohammed worshipped last Friday at the Al Noor mosque for the first time since his father's death. On the day of the shootings, Faisal was late to the mosque, an uncharacteristic trait that possibly spared his life. "It gave me courage," said Hazem Mohammed, originally from Baghdad, who played dead in Al Noor mosque as the gunman stood over him, wounded and surrounded by the bodies of fellow worshippers.
