IQNA – Two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand received a phone threat on Wednesday, prompting armed police to respond. Canterbury Police posted publicly on social media that the threat was made about specific premises. Police said they have visited the two mosques and, “at this time, not found anything of concern”. The Herald reported that the properties are the Al Noor Mosque and the old Linwood mosque, the sites of the Christchurch terror attack which saw 51 murdered in March 2019. In December, a seven week coronial inquest into the 2019 attack concluded after hearing from dozens of witnesses.
