A white supremacist who led a gun attack on mosques in New Zealand in which at least 49 people were killed is being investigated over possible links to right-wing extremists in Britain.
Shortly before the killings Brenton Tarrant published a “manifesto” in which he said that he had been inspired by Islamophobic violence in Britain, including the attack on a mosque in Finsbury Park, London.
MI5 is leading the inquiry into the terrorist’s links in Britain after he called for his followers to kill Sadiq Khan, the Muslim mayor of London.

Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian, broadcast his attack live on social media and began it by shouting: “This is for Europe.” He later appeared in court charged with murder and was remanded in custody
