@black_cat it's just another conspiracy theory. It's a sad incident in what I used to believe was a safe country with strong gun control law. But act of violence happens anywhere. I would have condemend even if it was a synagogue church or mandir. But the reporting from BBC and CNN is off the hook they haven't refer to him as a terrorist not a single time. Mature statements have came from there PM and Cheif.
Bangladesh team is safe that's good news but they should stay there just to show haters that they are not afraid and peace will prevail.

At least two Bangladeshis among dead after Christchurch mosque shootings

At least two Bangladeshis are among the dead after Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand, an official said on Friday.

Eight other Bangladeshis were injured in the gun attacks, said Shafiqur Rahman Bhuiyan, Bangladesh’s honorary consul in Auckland, citing local residents.

Forty people were killed and more than 20 seriously wounded in shootings at two mosques in New Zealand, in what Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said was a terrorist attack.

“They went to that mosque to attend Friday prayers. The families began to call them by phone as they didn’t return home. Later the families were informed that they have been hospitalised after being shot,” Bhuiyan said.

Bhuiyan could not provide details on the identity of the dead or the injured. The authority advised the locals to stay indoors, he said.

The massacre by at least one gunman during Friday prayers in the city of Christchurch is the country's worst ever mass shooting and was condemned throughout Asia.

"We believe that 40 people have lost their lives in this act of extreme violence," Ardern said.
"It is clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack."

Ardern said New Zealand had been placed on its highest security threat level. She said four people in police custody held extremist views, but had not been on any police watchlists.

Video footage widely circulated on social media, apparently taken by a gunman and posted online live as the attack unfolded, showed him driving to one mosque, entering it and shooting randomly at people inside.

Political and Islamic leaders across Asia expressed their disgust at the deadly shooting at two mosques in New Zealand on Friday as some revealed their citizens had been caught up in the bloodshed.

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 of many.

"Indonesia strongly condemns this shooting act, especially at a place of worship while a Friday prayer was on-going," Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said in a statement.

She was earlier cited by media as saying six Indonesians had been inside the mosque when the attack occurred, with three managing to escape and three unaccounted for.

Indonesia's ambassador to New Zealand, Tantowi Yahya, told Reuters inquiries were being made as to whether Indonesians were caught up in the attack. There are 331 Indonesians in Christchurch, including 134 students, the foreign ministry said.

In Muslim-majority Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, the leader of the biggest party in its ruling coalition, said one Malaysian had been wounded in the attack he described as a "black tragedy facing humanity and universal peace".

"I am deeply saddened by this uncivilized act, which goes against humanistic values and took the lives of civilians," he said in a statement.

"We extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims and the people of New Zealand."

New Zealand authorities confirmed "multiple" deaths but they did not say how many or identify any victims.


New Zealand media reported "dozens" of dead.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's spokesman condemned what he called a "racist and fascist" attack.

"This attack shows the point which hostility to Islam and enmity to Muslims has reached," Ibrahim Kalin wrote on Twitter.

"We have seen many times Islamophobic discourse against Islam and Muslims turning into a perverse and murderous ideology. The world must raise its voice against such discourse and must say stop to Islamophobic fascist terrorism," he said.

'ANTI-MUSLIM VIRUS'

The founder of India's All India Muslim Personal Board, a non-government body of scholars, Kamal Faruqui, said the attack was "highly condemnable".

"An anti-Muslim virus is spreading across the world," he told Reuters.

"People of all religions should be very worried."

Afghanistan's ambassador to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, Wahidullah Waissi, said on Twitter three Afghans had been wounded.

"My thoughts are with the family of Afghan origin who've been shot and killed at this heinous incident."

Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Faisal condemned the incident on social media, using the hashtag #pakistanagainstterror.

Ordinary people expressed their horror online about a widely disseminated video of a man apparently indiscriminately shooting people inside a mosque with an assault rifle.

The video has yet to be confirmed by authorities as being posted by a shooter involved in the attack.

"Feeling very sick, that person is brainless and a savage," said one Indonesian twitter user who identified himself as Farhan Adhitama.

New Zealand's prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, said many of those caught up in the shootings may have been migrants and refugees.

"They are us. The person who has perpetuated this violence against us is not. They have no place in New Zealand," she said.

i hope bangladesh cricket team will grow some spine and return back from newzealand.
if that happens to in bagnladesh they will not hesitate to go back.
It was a Life and Death situation for them. Just minutes away from the end. It was just a few meters.

While, an attack happens hundreds of miles from the Intl. cricketers in Pakistan. Every cricketing nation refuses to come.

Christian terrorism is dangerous for world peace. Countries should raise voice against it and blacklist New Zealand for its homegrown terrorists killing innocent muslims.

Do you think anything like this will happen?

Australia

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said his country stood with New Zealand after the tragic attack.

"We stand here and condemn, absolutely the attack that occurred today by an extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist," Morrison told a press conference.

He confirmed media reports that the gunman who mowed down worshippers in the main mosque in the southern New Zealand city of Christchurch was an Australian-born citizen, without providing further details.

"We are not just allies, we are not just partners, we are family," he said.


"It is such a sad and devastating reminder of the evil that can be ever present about us," Morrison said of the attacks.
