• President Trump on Friday said he had not seen a 74-page manifesto that Tarrant had written railing against Muslims and immigrants, but did not believe white nationalism is a rising global threat, adding, “I think it’s a small group of people that have very, very serious problems. It’s certainly a terrible thing.
The murderous rampage sundered life in New Zealand, an island country of 5 million celebrated for its low crime rate, and sent shock waves around the world at a time when many countries are grappling with the rise in right-wing extremism. None of the three arrested suspects had criminal records, and Tarrant had a registered address in southern New Zealand but lived in the country sporadically. Instead, the former fitness trainer led an itinerant lifestyle and traveled extensively to Bulgaria, North Korea and countries with large Muslim populations, including Turkey and Pakistan, officials said.
Tarrant obtained a license in November 2017 for the guns that would be used in the shooting; he began purchasing the weapons that December, according to officials. Survivors told Omar Nabi that his father had leaped on top of another worshiper as a human shield when the attack unfolded at Al Noor mosque. Nabi had come to the court to get a glimpse of the man who killed his father, he said, but the public was not allowed inside.
“It was a horrific incident and horrific to be on the phone to my Dad,” Rami said as he waited outside the hospital for his father to recover from nerve reconstruction surgery.The killings touched a nerve around the world. President Trump, in a statement issued Friday morning, extended his “warmest sympathy and best wishes” to the people of New Zealand. Hours later, Trump downplayed the danger of rising white nationalist extremism.
