Police say they thwarted the third attack by apprehending the suspect quickly.
By Anna Fifield Anna Fifield Beijing bureau chief. Email Bio Follow March 20 at 3:20 AM CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — Sixteen-year-old Hamza Mustafa and his father Khaled Mustafa, who had arrived in New Zealand only a few months ago after escaping the war in Syria, were laid to rest Wednesday, the first victims of the Christchurch mosque attacks to be buried.
After the attack was over, someone picked up the phone, the line still open, and told Salwa her son was dead.The family had been living in Jordan and had hoped to join members of the ethnic Circassian community in the United States but were thwarted by President Trump’s restrictions on travel from Muslim-majority countries, according to local reports.
“Yes there will be some interest in the terrorist who did this. But if I can make one request: Don't say his name,”Ardern said. “Don’t dwell on who he is. Dwell on your students and friends, on the Muslim community.” Christchurch is continuing to come to terms with the attacks, the worst mass killing and the only terrorist attack of this kind ever to have struck the country.One of the surgeons who helped tend to the injured spoke about digesting the news of the tragedy once the initial emergency had passed.
