New Zealand mosque shooting: Attacker had "kebab remover" written on gun, sported neo-nazi symbolism

27-year-old Brenton Tarrant used symbolism on his weaponry that seem to indicate he was a Neo-Nazi sympathizer
UPDATED MAR 15, 2019

Details are continuing to emerge about Brenton Tarrant, the alleged 27-year-old shooter responsible for coordinating the two attacks on mosques in Christchurch on Friday which left 49 injured and at least 20 seriously injured, and it seems he describes anti-immigrant motives, saying the victims were a "large group of invaders" who he says "seek to occupy my peoples lands and ethnically replace my own people (sic)".

In a manifesto purportedly posted by Tarrant on social media, he described himself as a "Kebab Removalist." Reports also indicate he had the words "Kebab Remover" written on his gun in reference to a viral video from the 1990s referring to the ethnic cleansing campaign that took place throughout areas controlled by the Bosnian Serbs, and which targeted Muslim Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats.
