Thirty-four people remained in hospital on Sunday, with 12 in a critical condition, including a severely injured four-year-old girl.<\/p>\n<p>People throughout the world are horrified by the cold-blooded, racist massacre, which targeted defenceless Muslim men, women and children while they were praying. Tens of thousands of people joined vigils over the weekend in New Zealand and internationally to show solidarity with the victims and their families and to defend Muslims, immigrants and refugees.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand police are now saying that Australian-born, 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant was the only gunman and had no assistance from others. He has appeared in court on murder charges. Authorities in both New Zealand and Australia claim that he at no time came to the attention of either the intelligence agencies or the police, and was therefore not under any form of monitoring<\/p>\n<p>This attempt to portray Tarrant as a disturbed \u201clone wolf,\u201d and especially the claim that he was \u201coff the radar,\u201d is simply not credible. The 74-page manifesto issued by Tarrant makes clear that he prepared and carried out the terrorist atrocity on behalf of an international network of fascists and white supremacists, with whom he had openly collaborated for several years.<\/p>\n<p>Tarrant\u2019s manifesto is a modern-day <em>Mein Kam<\/em><em>pf<\/em>.
