new Zealand shooting
The Internet accounts linked to two armed attacks on Friday were reported on two mosques in New Zealand, killing 49 people and wounding more than 40,Over the past few days, they have posted on social networking sites and forums about the supremacy of the white race, and messages to the extreme right that celebrate violence against Muslims and minorities.
Police fired live footage on Facebook to attack a mosque. Police later said four people had been detained and one was charged with murder in the worst mass shooting incident to date.
The Brenton Tarrant's account on Twitter posted pictures of a gun later used in the attack on Christchurch's two mosques.
The picture of the gun was covered with white letters to the names of other people who had committed ethnic or religious killings, Slavic, Armenian and Georgian references to historical figures and events and derision of a UN booklet on how to deal with migrants.
On the side of the gun, he also wrote a number 14 in reference to a slogan used by white racists consisting of 14 words.
Other tweets posted by the same user on the day included references to the declining fertility rate of whites, articles on right-wing extremists in different countries and stories of alleged crimes by illegal immigrants.
The account, which was created last month, published 63 tweets and was followed by 318 followers, according to the agency "Reuters".
A person involved in the attacks appeared to have regularly published publications at the POI Politically Incorrect Forum, which is known to allow the publication of any content, including hate speech.
At about 1:30 am (0030 GMT) on Friday, the anonymous user of the group said, "I will carry out the attack on the invaders and I will also publish a live broadcast to attack Facebook." The pre-publication comments included Nazi images and slogans.
The publication of this anonymous user included a link to a 74-page statement stating that what he paid for the attack was "white genocide," a term used by white racists to describe the effects of immigration and the increase in minority populations.
The publication also included a link to a Facebook user account called "Brenton Tarrant 9.", the account on which the live broadcast of an attack on a mosque was broadcast.
