From Morning Report, 8:21 am on 5 March 2021

A 27-year-old man will appear in Christchurch District Court today after an online threat to the Linwood Islamic Centre and the Al Noor Mosque.

Both mosques were searched on Tuesday after a member of the public warned police about a post on the 4chan website.

The man has been charged with threatening to kill.

Anjum Rahman is with the Islamic Women's Council.

She spoke to Susie Ferguson.
