New Zealand PM orders inquiry into Christchurch massacre

WELLINGTON, March 25, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda
Ardern on Monday ordered an independent judicial inquiry into the
Christchurch mosque attacks, saying she wanted to know how a gunman shot dead
50 people on March 15.

“It is important that no stone is left unturned to get to how this act of
terrorism occurred and how we could have stopped it,” Ardern told reporters,
adding the inquiry would include intelligence services and police.
