How did they miss him?

-

NEW Zealand’s intelligen­ce agencies were last night facing serious questions over how they failed to stop the white supremacis­t terrorist.

Brenton Tarrant posted pictures of the murder weapons online two days before the rampage.

He published photograph­s of his semi-automatic rifle on Twitter, and shared photos of militaryst­yle equipment on his nowremoved social media account. It was claimed he also posted his intentions and the location of the attacks 12 minutes prior to it.

Three people were in custody, including Tarrant, last night. But New Zealand’s prime minister Jacinda Ardern admitted they were not on a security watch list. She said she would ‘absolutely’ be raising questions as to why Tarrant wasn’t known to officials.
