PETALING JAYA: A Malaysian survivor of the terror attacks in Christchurch said it took him just “two seconds” to realise that a gunman was inside the Al Noor Mosque.

Noor Yahaya Hamzah of Christchurch said the attacker started opening fire as soon as the Friday sermon began at about 1.40pm (New Zealand time), with the prayer hall yet to be filled.
