ISTANBUL - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan showed video footage at an election rally on Saturday from an attack on two New Zealand mosques which killed 49 people and said the suspected gunman had made threats against Turkish Muslims.
Erdogan said the suspect had twice visited Turkey and had warned that Turks have no place in Europe. He said Turkish authorities were investigating his visits and his contacts. Majority Muslim Turkey straddles Europe and Asia, its Asian section known as Anatolia. Turkey's largest city, Istanbul, is split between an Asian part to the east of the Bosphorus, and a European half to the west of the strait.
