Ardern said "This was a violent attack on innocent New Zealanders. It was senseless." "It was undertaken by an individual who was a known threat."
The man was under watch because of his extremist views and sympathies with Isis. "The terrorist is a Sri Lankan national who arrived in 2011," Ardern said.
