Donations pour in for New Zealand terror victims

By Recep Sakar

MELBOURNE (AA) - A fundraising campaign has raised nearly $9.4 million for the victims of last month's terror attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand, a charity group announced Monday.

More than 95,000 people from 139 countries across the world have donated for the Christchurch Shooting Victims' Fund, according to Victim Support.

At least 50 Muslims were killed and as many injured on March 15 when a terrorist -- identified as Australian-born Brenton Tarrant, 28 -- entered the Al Noor and Linwood mosques in Christchurch and shot worshippers in cold blood, including four children.
