Suspected explosive device found in Christchurch , New Zealand

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The package was found on Tuesday in the Phillipstown neighbourhood with the suspicious case reported to police.

Ambulance and firefighters as well as bomb disposal teams arrived at the place.
Police ordered the nearby homes evacuated , yet some residents were allowed to return their home later.

An Australian gunman, identified as Brenton Tarrant killed at least 49 people and wounded more than 20 during Friday prayers in New Zealand's Christchurch, the worst ever mass shooting which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern condemned as terrorism.

He broadcast live footage on Facebook of the attack on one mosque in the city of Christchurch, mirroring the carnage played out in video games, after publishing a "manifesto" in which he denounced immigrants, calling them "invaders".

In his manifesto, Tarrant said he saw Trump as “symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose.”
