New Zealand shaken by mosque attacks that killed 49 on ‘darkest day’Most, if not all of them, were gunned down by an immigrant-hating white supremacist who apparently used a helmet-mounted camera to broadcast live video of the slaughter on Facebook. “It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack,” prime minister Jacinda Ardern said, noting that many of the victims could be migrants or refugees. As the Prime Minister stated yesterday, this has been designated a terrorist attack. Shocked and strongly condemn the Christchurch, New Zealand, terrorist attack on mosques. Last year, New Zealand’s prime minister announced that the country would boost its annual refugee quota from 1,000 to 1,500 in 2020.
