The number of Jordanians killed in shootings on two mosques in New Zealand has risen to three after a wounded man died of his injuries.
Jordan's Foreign Ministry announced the death Saturday. The ministry said a Jordanian diplomat is on his way to New Zealand to coordinate with local authorities.
In the immediate aftermath of Friday's attack on two Christchurch mosques, the Foreign Ministry had announced that two Jordanians were among the 49 people killed, and that eight Jordanians had been wounded.
Jordan has not released the names of Jordanian victims of the attack.
Jordan's King Abdullah II has tweeted that "the heinous massacre against Muslims praying in peace in New Zealand is an appalling terrorist crime."
"It unites us against extremism, hatred and terrorism, which knows no religion," he said.
