It has become page two type news in Germany, and it's worth a moment to examine this entire story.
A terror attack occurred in Auckland, New Zealand. Muslim guy was in the middle of this episode.
What the N-TV folks have laid out, and it's the better of the services telling the story....this guy had been a 'problem' for several years.
Originally, he'd come as a college student around ten years ago. Around 2013, he applied for asylum....to stay in New Zealand.
At some point around four years ago....he got into enough serious trouble (he apparently had a hunting knife and a number of extremist videos) that the police came....arrested him, and he went off to prison.
No, he had not completed the citizenship process. So he had no real right to stay.
So back in July of this year.....his three years of prison were up. The authorities probably should have been thinking ahead of time.....but they only started the deportation business in recent months, and it wasn't going too far.
Last week (Friday), he walks into a grocery store that sells knives. He picks up a knife and stabs six people. Presently....none are dead but it's probably unsettled the general public a great deal. Cops arrive on the scene....confront the guy....then shoot him. Actually, whoever did the shooting....fired off the whole clip (all ten rounds into the guy....so he's absolutely dead in the end).
So, from the day that he was released from prison.....because they had no signed deportation papers yet....they kept a 24-hour a day surveillance police team on him (53 straight days). Yes, they actually expected trouble. But at the supermarket? They followed him up to the place and figured it was 'safe-enough'. Luckily, the cops were on the scene, and reacted before he stabbed more people.
If this story sounds familiar, well....it's kinda like that Wurzburg knife-terror attack at the department store back in late June of this year.
ISIS connection for this Auckland character? Yeah, that gets pointed out.
Some Germans will view the story....relate to it, and even though it's thousands of kilometers away.
