Hero refugee chased gunman away from New Zealand mosque

"You don't have much time to think, whatever you think of, you just do it, you know," Abdul Aziz told AFP, brushing off the "hero" tag. [AFP]

When Afghan refugee Abdul Aziz saw a man brandishing a gun outside his mosque in Christchurch, he ran towards the attacker armed with the only weapon he could find -- a hand-held credit card machine.

Seven people were killed when a white supremacist stormed Linwood Masjid -- the second mosque he attacked on Friday -- as worshippers knelt to pray.
