A probe is ongoing to establish Brenton Tarrant’s movements in Turkey during his stay between March 17-20 and September 13 to October 25 in 2016, a senior Turkish official tells TRT World.
The perpetrator of a terrorist attack in New Zealand in which 50 people, mostly worshippers, were killed visited Turkey « twice », a senior Turkish official told TRT World on Friday.
« Our initial assessment is that the perpetrator of today’s heinous terror attack in Christchurch, travelled to Turkey multiple times and spent an extended period of time in the country, » the official said.
The worshippers were shot to death at two mosques during midday prayers on Friday — most if not all of them gunned down by an immigrant-hating white supremacist, identified as Brenton Tarrant, who apparently used a helmet-mounted camera to broadcast live video of the slaughter on Facebook.
