The alleged Christchurch mosque shooter sent a "manifesto" to the office of New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern minutes before the terrorist attack that left 50 people dead, she has said. Her office was among more than 30 New Zealand parliamentary email addresses that received the document on Friday, The Guardian reports.

The document did not include a location or specific details about the attack. "I was one of more than 30 recipients of the manifesto that was mailed out nine minutes before the attack took place. It did not include a location, it did not include specific details," she said. "I am advised that within two minutes of its receipt, at least my office it was conveyed directly to parliamentary security."
