AUCKLAND, NZ.- Multiple people in New Zealand have been stabbed in a terrorist attack, according to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. A man, inspired by Islamic State Ideology, entered a Countdown Supermarket in Auckland and stabbed at least six people.
Police shot and killed the suspect within 60 seconds of starting the attack, Ardern said. " A violent extremist undertook a terrorist attack on innocent New Zealanders, " The Prime Minister stated in a briefing on Friday.
" This was someone who was known to our National Security Agencies and was of concern and was being monitored constantly. There are very few that fall into this category," Ardern said, adding that she was personally ' Gutted ' to have heard about the attack. The Suspect was a Sri Lankan National and had been living in New Zealand since 2016. He was described by The Prime Minister as a Lone Wolf who was inspired by Extremist Ideology.
New Zealanders will have to see how this recent terror attack, may finally lead to a more stringent Security Policy. After The Christchurch Shooting, sweeping gun reforms were announced. It's difficult to what legislation could be introduced by Ardern here, except for an unlikely effort to increase incarceration rates. This would go against a lot of the existing Ardern Policy and Rhetoric.
