Threat was made on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, days before the city marks one year since the massacre that left 51 people dead
Police in New Zealand are investigating a threat against Al Noor mosque less than one week before the first anniversary of the Christchurch massacre.
Police say they received a report from a member of the public early on Monday morning that a threat had been made against the mosque on encrypted messaging app Telegram, which is known as a platform used by far-right extremists. A photo had also circulated showing a masked man standing outside the mosque in central Christchurch, local media reported.
