Emotional Muslims return to Christchurch mosque as NZ works to move on

Muslims held emotional prayers inside Christchurch's main mosque on Saturday for the first time since a white supremacist massacred worshippers there, as New Zealand sought to return to normality after the tragedy. The Al Noor mosque had been taken over by police for investigations and security reasons after alleged gunman Brenton Tarrant gunned down Muslims gathered there and at a smaller mosque for Friday prayers on March 15, killing 50 people. Al Noor was handed back to the local Muslim community on Saturday and began allowing small groups onto its grounds around midday.
