Burials begin for New Zealand mosque shooting victims by TomLasseter char_greenfield
CHRISTCHURCH - The bodies of victims from New Zealand’s mosques mass shooting were carried in open caskets on the shoulders of mourners into a large tent at Christchurch’s Memorial Park Cemetery on Wednesday - the first burials of the 50 victims.
Hundreds gathered to mourn, some men wearing a taqiyah , others shalwar kameez , while women wore hijabs and scarfs. “There is a desire to show support for the Muslim community as they return to mosques on Friday,” she said. “The attack on any Muslim or any innocent person anywhere around the world is an attack on all Muslims and all people,” the council said in a statement.
New Zealand’s police chief said global intelligence agencies, including the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and those from Australia, Canada and Britain, were building up a profile of the alleged shooter. Families of the victims have been frustrated by the delay as under Islam bodies are usually buried within 24 hours.
