Pope Francis condemned last Friday the mbadacre of supremacy against the two mosques of New Zealand and called for "gestures of peace to put an end to hatred and violence".

"These days, to the pain of wars and conflicts that continue to afflict all of humanity, have added victims of the horrific attack of two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand" , he said after the Angelus prayer, referring to the attack with semi-automatic weapons in the mosques of Linwood and Al Noor in the city of Christchurch, causing 50 deaths, according to the latest update of the local police.

Pope Francis renewed his "invitation to unity in prayer and gestures of peace to put an end to hatred and violence", in a mbad in which he prayed and presented his condolences to "the dead, wounded and their families "

On Friday, the shooter who committed the attack showed live and from his point of view how he had shot in cold blood on the people who were praying at the mosque. The New Zealand authorities said the attack killed 50 people and police commissioner Michael Bush revealed that another victim had been found at Al Noor Mosque. Regarding the investigation conducted, Bush did not want to confirm whether the Australian Brenton Tarrant was solely responsible for the armed attacks in both mosques.

"To date, only one person is charged in connection with the attacks, I will not say anything conclusive until we are absolutely convinced that no one else is involved," Busch said. Three other people were, however, arrested after the Friday mbadacre, one of which was released soon after.

The other two are a man and a woman who were arrested near the police cordon in a car with several guns, although, for the time being, the police feel that none of them are n '. is involved in the attack. According to Bush, the woman has already been released while the man is still in custody and charged with possession of weapons.
