Employee fired in UAE for hailing New Zealand attacks

DUBAI

A company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has fired an employee for celebrating last week’s mass killing of Muslims in a deadly terror attack on two mosques in New Zealand.

"Over the weekend, a Transguard employee made inflammatory comments on his personal Facebook account celebrating the deplorable mosque attack in Christchurch, New Zealand," security company Transguard said in a statement on Tuesday.

The company said the employee was deported by UAE authorities, but did not specify his nationality.

"We have a zero-tolerance policy for the inappropriate use of social media, and as a result this individual was immediately terminated and turned over to the authorities to face justice," Managing Director Greg Ward said.

At least 50 people were killed when a terrorist opened fire on worshippers during the weekly Friday prayers at the Al Noor and Linwood mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Four suspects -- three men and one woman -- were detained. One suspected was reportedly released later.
