“He changed only after going abroad.' In an interview from Sri Lanka, the mother of an Islamic State-inspired extremist who stabbed shoppers in New Zealand alleges that neighbors radicalized him after they helped him recover from an injury. (fixes link)

The attacker, Ahamed Samsudeen, was a 32-year-old Tamil Muslim from Sri Lanka. He arrived in New Zealand 10 years ago on a student visa, and applied for refugee status on the basis of being persecuted in his home country.

His mother, Mohamedismail Fareetha, said his descent into extremism began after he fell several stories in 2016 while attending university. “After being arrested in 2017 he talked less with us, it was about once every three months,” Fareetha said, adding that two of her other sons “were angry with him and scolded him.”
