London is stepping up security at mosques in the wake of the Christchurch terror attacks
Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, has tweeted his condolences to the victims of the attack, and confirmed that there will be"highly visible" and armed police around mosques in the UK capital on Friday.
"New Zealand, like Australia, is home to people from all faiths, cultures and backgrounds. There is absolutely no place in either of our countries for the hatred and intolerance that has bred this extremist, terrorist violence and we condemn it," he added.The New Zealand cricket team, the Black Caps, announced it would suspend its Saturday match with Bangladesh in the wake of the Christchurch terrorist attacks.
"On behalf of my country, I offer my condolences to the Islamic world and the people of New Zealand, who have been targeted by this deplorable act," he said in a statement. This was slightly different to previous statements that multiple vehicles had been found with explosives attached.One witness, who did not want to be named, told CNN that he was driving by the mosque but pulled over to help when he saw people lying on the ground outside.
