The deadly terrorist attacks at the two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand claimed the lives of people from a wide variety of ethnicities and backgrounds, one of whom was a man who hailed from Saudi Arabia. This is his story.<\/p>\n
Mohsin Al Harbi moved to New Zealand 25 years ago and worked in water desalination. Quoting his son Feras Al Harbi, Arab News<\/a> reported that Mohsin was a devout Muslim and at times even gave the Friday sermon at one of the mosques where the shooting took place.<\/p>\n Like other worshippers, he was at the mosque to attend the Friday prayers \u2013 this time around though he wasn\u2019t going to give the Friday sermon.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mohsin\u2019s wife Manal visited the site of the attack and suffered a heart attack seeing the bodies of the victims. She is in critical condition as per the latest media reports.<\/p>\n The company where Mohsin worked posted an emotional message for their colleague on their Facebook page.<\/p>\nHe initially survived the attack with serious injuries and an image of him went viral as he was being carried on a stretcher with his index finger raised towards the sky.<\/h4>\n
However, a few hours later he succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.<\/h4>\n
