Report finds lapses ahead of New Zealand mosque attack

Among 44 recommendations, the report released Tuesday says the government should establish a new national intelligence agency. It says that New Zealandโ€™s intelligence agencies were far too focused on the threat posed by Islamic extremism at the expense of other threats including white supremacism. New Zealand currently has one intelligence agency that focuses on domestic threats and one that focuses on international threats. Tarrant told investigators that although he frequented extreme right-wing discussion boards on websites like 4chan and 8chan, he found YouTube a far more significant source of information and inspiration. Despite the shortcomings of various agencies, the report concludes, there was no plausible way Tarrant's plans could have been detected "except by chance.โ€

Christchurch shooting suspect sends letter from prison

(CNN) - New Zealand's prison authority has acknowledged it made a mistake in allowing the alleged Christchurch mosque attacker to send a letter, which then surfaced on 4chan, an online message board known for hosting the views of white supremacists. "I have no concern about myself and I only worry for Europe's future," Tarrant wrote. The letter was sent to an address in Russia, a country which Tarrant also wrote at length about, before it was posted to 4chan. "We have made changes to the management of this prisoner's mail to ensure that our robust processes are as effective as we need them to be." Tarrant is accused of carrying out the March 15 attacks on two Christchurch mosques, in which 51 people were killed.

Deadly violence heightens concerns about domestic terrorism and white supremacists

Federal and local authorities recently have said there are heightened concerns about domestic terrorism and white supremacy. AdvertisementIn July, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee that a majority of domestic terrorism cases the bureau has investigated are motivated by white supremacy. Wray assured the panel that the FBI was aggressively pursuing domestic terrorism and hate crimes. Here are examples of attacks in recent years in the U.S. and elsewhere that authorities have linked to white supremacist ideology. Tarrant was charged with the murder of 51 people, 40 counts of attempted murder and one terrorism charge.

Warrants say New Zealand attack inspired synagogue shooting

The details in search warrants released Wednesday give the clearest indication yet that Earnest was inspired by shooter Brenton Tarrant and acted on that hatred within days of the New Zealand killings. Federal authorities had previously released excerpts of Earnest's online writings demonstrating his affection for Tarrant, but the search warrants give a detailed timeline showing how quickly the New Zealand attack turned his violent thoughts into action. On March 20, investigators in the search documents said he sent another text about the writings saying, "I think it's important that everyone should read it." According to the search warrants, authorities seized a hunting certificate from his family's home, indicating Earnest may have obtained a hunting license to buy the weapon. Shortly after the attack, Earnest called 911 and said he had shot up the synagogue and was willing to surrender, according to court documents.
