    The Foreign Office on Saturday released a list of Pakistanis that are missing since yesterday's terror attack on two mosques in the quiet New Zealand city of Christchurch.

    The attack on the Al Noor and Linwood mosques, that left at least 49 people dead, has been labelled terrorism by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and is thought to be the deadliest attack directed against Muslims in the West in modern times.

    The dead were said to include women and children. Around 48 people were treated for gunshot wounds at Christchurch Hospital, including young children, with injuries ranging from critical to minor.

    In a tweet, FO Spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal revealed that nine Pakistanis are still missing after the shooting took place.
