The main suspect in New Zealand’s mosque attacks made a brief visit to Israel in late 2016, Israeli officials said on Sunday.

Brenton Tarrant, an Australian national, entered Israel in October 2016 on a three-month tourist visa and stayed for nine days, an official with Israel’s Population and Immigration Authority told Reuters.
Tarrant is the suspected gunman in Friday’s attacks in the city of Christchurch in which 50 people were killed in New Zealand’s worst peacetime mass shooting.

The official said there were no further details available on what Tarrant, 28, did during his stay in Israel. The Australian embassy and New Zealand consulate in Israel did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Also in late 2016, Tarrant visited Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia, where he stopped by historic battle sites, before traveling in Western Europe in 2017.
He returned to the Balkans in November 2018 to tour historic sites of Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary.

A suspect confronted the court, two other under investigation; reports about another suspect who left for Israel faces the silence of authorities.
The
attack to two mosques in Christchurch, a city in eastern New Zealand,
has led to the death of 49 people leaving dozens seriously injured.
The terrorist, holding a camera on head live-streaming the attack on
Facebook, rushed the Al-Noor mosque with a gun and then fled to
streets continuing to shoot the passers-by.
The
live-stream stopped a few streets away while minutes later another
mosque, Linwood mosques, was targeted by another attack. Most
casualties, nevertheless, were reported in the first attack.
The
local authorities announced that less than an hour after the attack,
the main suspect, a 28-year-old Australian, was arrested while three
others were also put under investigation. One suspect was released
from custody after the end of primary investigations.
It
remains unclear if the attackers of the two mosques were the same or
there were five attackers involved. One of the terrorists managed to
escape the country hours after Friday noon. The fifth attacker has
defected to Israel with the help of unknown aides. No official
reaction has been made by Tel Aviv or local authorities on the issue
yet.
While
the main suspect has confronted the court a day after the terrorist
attack, the local authorities has made no remark about his partner(s)
in the brutal act.
The
distance between the two mosques seems to show that the terrorist
would have no chance to get to the second mosque if he were alone.
Besides, considering the fact that the attack was terroristic in
nature, as the New Zealand Prime Minister asserted, the involvement
of other individuals, or other countries, seems probable.
