'Our hearts are breaking': NZ readies to bury mosque attack dead


As Christchurch's Muslim community reels from a devastating attack on two mosques that killed at least 49 worshippers and wounded dozens others, the New Zealand city has begun digging graves for the victims of the deadliest mass shooting in the country's history.

Excavators were called in on Saturday to remove the vast amount of earth needed to bury the dead, although police have yet to release some of the bodies to families.

A 28-year-old Australian identified as Brenton Harrison Tarrant has been charged with murder after the shootings at the Al Noor and Linwood mosques, in what New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern called a "terrorist attack".

Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay, reporting from Christchurch, said both sites were still an active crime scene.
