Muslims pray at Christchurch's main mosque for the first time since at least 50 people were killed there and a smaller place of worship in a terror attack
Members of the Muslim community visit Al Noor mosque after it was reopened in Christchurch, New Zealand, March 23, 2019. Smelling of fresh paint, the two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch where a gunman killed 50 worshippers last week reopened their doors on Saturday, with many survivors among the first to walk in and pray for those who died.
"We feel like hate has brought a lot of darkness at times like this and love is the strongest cure to light the city out of that darkness," said Manaia Butler, 16, one of the student organisers of the march. Thousands more were listening in on the radio or watching on television as the event was broadcast live. Assault weapons banned less than a week after massacre
Ardern added that high-capacity magazines and devices similar to bump stocks - which can make rifles fire faster - will also be outlawed. In a 74-page manifesto he released before the attack, Australian terrorist Brenton Tarrant said he was going to attack mosques in Christchurch and Linwood, and then one in the town of Ashburton if he made it that far.
Several mounds of dirt piled high marked the site of multiple graves which will be used for New Zealand's worst mass shooting.

"He sought many things from his act of terror, but one was notoriety," she told assembled lawmakers of the 28-year-old Australian accused of the slaughter.He is a terrorist. He is a criminal. He is an extremist. But he will, when I speak, be nameless." "On Friday, it will be a week since the attack, members of the Muslim community will gather for worship on that day. Let us acknowledge their grief as they do."Gunman in New Zealand's mosque attacks, Brenton Tarrant, is lucid and understands the situation facing him, the lawyer assigned to handle his case told media on Monday.
His mother and a brother have left for New Zealand as his family has decided to bury him in Christchurch.Tarrant visited Hungary and Israel The centre says it is still investigating what Tarrant did and where he went while he was in Hungary.The Australian national entered Israel in October 2016 on a three-month tourist visa and stayed for nine days, an official with Israel's Population and Immigration Authority told Reuters.
The purpose of this inquiry is to look at what all relevant agencies knew or could or should have known about the individual and his activities, including his access to weapons and whether they could have been in a position to prevent the attack."Tarrant, who appeared in court on Saturday and was charged with murder, on Monday sacked his state-appointed lawyer.
