Massacre in New Zealand: the same killer attacked in both mosques – 15/03/2019

The facts surrounding the mbadacre of two mosques in New Zealand this Friday at the hands of an Australian far right, in which 49 people died, It takes shape.

The camera, which the attacker used to record his butchery and carried a black case in the head, highlights how the mbadacre took place in Christchurch. It also indicates that the author of the shootings in both mosques was attacked, which until now was not clear.

According to the video, this man – a 28-year-old Australian who the media calls white right-wing extremist Brenton Tarrant– transmitted live on Facebook, the course of the attacker starts a few blocks from the first attacked mosque, that of Al Noor in the city of Christchurch.

Tarrant drives a dozen blocks and stops at the temple. Get off the vehicle, open the trunk, take out a gun and enter the building.

There he kills 41 people. It was 13:40 local time.

Six minutes later, he escaped into the same car in which he had arrived and headed for the second temple, the Linwood Mosque, 5 km away.

In total, the transmission is cut off about 20 blocks before arriving.

This would indicate that it was he who committed the second attack, knowing that the Linwood attack took place shortly after that of Al Noor. And that would also explain why, having three inmates, the Australian is so far the only accused of all deaths.

In Linwood, the death toll is eight.

Linwood survivors talk about a man with a black helmet, which fired about 100 faithful.

The police described the attacks as "twins" and "very well planned".

Manifest

In the manifesto that Brenton Tarrant left posted on social networks to explain the reasons for his attack, he admits that he acted alone and that he spent two years planning it. And A trip to Europe eventually inspired.

"The last push was to see the state of the French cities.I was listening and reading many years about the invasion of France by" non-whites ", and I believed that a lot of these rumors and stories were exaggerations, created to lead a political narrative, "he wrote.

"But once I arrived in France, I found that these stories were not only true, but also deeply underestimated," he continued in his document entitled "The Great Replacement", clearly referring to 2012 book written by the controversial French author right. , Renaud Camus.

In this book, Camus exposes the "theory" according to which the white majority of Europe is replaced by immigrants North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, many of whom are Muslim.

The "great substitute" was a war cry of the French far right, even after the arrival of immigrants in Europe after its peak in 2015. After Marion, she was the granddaughter of the last convicted, the Holocaust denier, Jean -Marie Le Pen and a beloved figure of the American far right, the idea perfectly matches the reality.

New Zealand, an unthinkable place

However, there can be no more disconcerting place for a mbadacre than New Zealand, a country so calm and isolated from the mbadacres that abound in the United States and which the police rarely carry weapons.

But the aggressor pointed out that his choice of New Zealand is precisely because it is a distant country. He wrote that an attack in New Zealand would show that no part of the world is safe and that the most remote countries are affected by mbadive migrations.

The far-right Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik, imprisoned in his country for the murder of 77 people in 2011, also inspired the striker.

The 40-year-old extremist also broadcast a "manifesto" of more than 1,500 pages and called to follow his example.

Tarrant says in his manifesto that he "is really inspired by the knight Justiciero Breivik".

"I only had a brief contact with the knight Justiciero Breivik and I received a blessing for my mission after contacting his brother knights," he wrote.

Breivik killed 77 people on July 22, 2011 by detonating a bomb near the government headquarters in Oslo, then firing on the crowd at a Labor Party youth camp on the island of Utøya.

Tarrant said that he had grown up in an Australian working-clbad family, that he had a typical childhood and that he was a mediocre student. A woman who said that she was his colleague when he was personal trainer In the Australian city of Grafton, he said the charges had shocked him.

"I can not … believe that someone with whom I have daily contact and with whom I spoke and exchanged may be able to commit such an extreme act," Tracey said. Gray at the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

In addition to his nationalist ideals, the aggressor also considered himself an environmentalist and fascist who considered China to be the country most aligned with its political and social values. He despises the 1% of the richest and said the right-wing American commentator Candace Owens was the most influential person in her life.

This Saturday, Tarrant must testify in court and his testimony will serve to clarify the last doubts.

Premier Jacinda Ardern, who spoke of one of the "darkest days" of this South Pacific country, described the attack as "terrorist" and pointed out that it was "deadly". It was the worst attack on Muslims in a Western country.
