Islamic world reacts with disgust at New Zealand mosque attacks.
JAKARTA, March 15 - Political and Islamic leaders across Asia expressed their disgust at the deadly shooting at two mosques in New Zealand on Friday as some revealed their citizens had been caught up in the bloodshed.
She was earlier cited by media as saying six Indonesians had been inside the mosque when the attack occurred, with three managing to escape and three unaccounted for. "I am deeply saddened by this uncivilized act, which goes against humanistic values and took the lives of civilians," he said in a statement.
"This attack shows the point which hostility to Islam and enmity to Muslims has reached," Ibrahim Kalin wrote on Twitter. "My thoughts are with the family of Afghan origin who've been shot and killed at this heinous incident." The video has yet to be confirmed by authorities as being posted by a shooter involved in the attack.
