Claim of Fact:

“49 killed and dozens, including young children, injured in New Zealand mass shootings targeting mosque”

This is verifiable because we are able to check the number of people who were killed and injured. At the same time, we are able to check where the incident happened by researching the incident that happened.

Direct evidence

“that he saw a man dressed in black enter the building and then heard dozens of shots, followed by people running from the mosque in terror"

"One witness told TVNZ he saw three women shot and bleeding outside the mosque and another said a suspect fired more than 50 shots"

This is a direct evidence because the shooter live streamed the mass shooting and upload it on his Facebook. He also took responsibility of the shooting. There is no further inference needed to support my evidence.

Circumstantial Evidence:

"he heard about five gunshots and that a Friday prayer-goer returned fire with a rifle or shotgun"

This is a circumstantial evidence because the man HEARD 5 gunshot and this does not necessarily means its a gunshot, it could be a car accident, explosion, fire cracker. He did not specifically said that he saw a Friday prayer-goer returned fire.

These dummy commercial organisations were identified as GEMI (Gerakan Ekonomi Melayu Indonesia) in Johor Bahru, Duma Corporation at Bussorah Street and Malaysia Indonesia Corporation at . The head of the Indonesian sabotage operations was Masintan Sihombeng, a former Indonesian consulate official in Singapore.Three days after the explosion, the two Indonesian marine commandos responsible for the MacDonald House bombing were caught while trying to escape from Singapore by sea. They were rescued at sea by a bumboat man who saw them clinging to a plank. At that time, they were not wearing military uniforms and had no identification papers. They were later taken on board a marine police boat and subsequently interrogated by the police before being charged with murder for their role in the MacDonald House bombing.On 20 October 1965, Harun bin Said and Osman bin Haji Mohamed Ali were convicted by the Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa later stressed that Indonesia had meant "no ill intent or malice" when it decided to name the frigate after the two marines.Armed Forces.1.

The Confrontation period (1963-1966) saw Indonesia using military force to engage in acts of sabotage and terrorism against the states that comprised the Federation of Malaysia, namely Malaya, Singapore and the former British territories in North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak. The MacDonald House bombing was an example of this policy of intimidation, which was championed by then Indonesian President Sukarno because he opposed the formation of Malaysia, which he saw as a cover for the continuation of colonial influence and power in the region. ¹¹ ¹² Toh Chin Chye condemned the attack as a "senseless act of cruelty". ² Two Indonesian marine commandos, Osman bin Haji Mohamed Ali and Harun bin Said, were later caught, found responsible for the bombing and hanged on 17 October 1968 by the Singapore authorities. ¹³ He was arrested on 10 December 1963 as he was about to flee from Singapore to Pulau Samboe. ¹⁴ ³ Their executions led to a souring of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Indonesia as the two men were regarded as war heroes by their countrymen.

A band of 400 students sacked the Singapore embassy in Indonesia and the residences of Singapore diplomats.

The students were reported to have used bamboo staves and smashed furniture and windows. They also ripped down Singapore national flags and national emblems. The attackers took less than an hour and they later went to the security headquarters building in Jakarta where the bodies of the two men were lying in state. 19 Hundreds of thousands of Indonesians subsequently lined the streets for the funeral process of the two men, who were buried with full honours at the National Heroes cemetery. ¹⁸ ⁵
Controversy over naming of ship

Indonesian marine commandos Osman bin Haji Mohamed Ali and Harun bin Said arrived in Singapore on 10 March 1965 at about 11.00 am. Disguised as civilians, they proceeded to the MacDonald House building and each planted a bundle of explosives on the steps of the mezzanine floor near the lift area. After lighting up the fuse, they left the building at around 3.00 pm and boarded a bus. An eyewitness testified that he saw a Malayan Airways canvas travelling bag on the mezzanine floor that was producing a hissing noise with smoke coming out of it. ²³ ⁶

The bomb exploded at 3.07 pm, ripping off a lift door while the inner walls of the mezzanine floor took the full force of the blast. Windows within a hundred yards were shattered and the explosion damaged almost every car parked outside the building. The Hongkong and Shanghai Bank housed within the building had closed for business only seven minutes earlier and 150 employees were closing their accounts when the explosion occurred. Witnesses recounted a sudden flash followed by a bang. The explosion was powerful enough to destroy the pillars of the building and exposed the steel reinforcements within them. Later examination of the building showed that 20 to 25 lb (9 to 11 kg) of nitroglycerine explosives were used for the bomb.

Similar case
There were another two Indonesians on death row in Singapore for crimes committed during Konfrontasi. Stanislaus Krofan and Andres Andea were charged with unlawfully carrying 43 pounds of explosives at Tanjong Rhu and Katong Park on 14 April 1965. Two demolition experts and two police officers were injured during the defusing of the bombs. Following a court trial, Krofan and Andea were sentenced to death. However, their death sentences were remitted following pleas by the Indonesian government and both were sent back to Indonesia in April 1967. Their case was handled differently from Osman and Harun's case, as the bomb they planted did not kill anyone unlike the MacDonald House bombing which killed three people. ²⁷

⁷

The execution of the two Indonesian marine commandos was an obstacle for Singapore in establishing good bilateral relations with Indonesia. During a visit to Jakarta in May 1973, then Prime Minister Lee visited the Kalibata Heroes Cemetery and scattered flowers on the graves of the two men as a gesture of good will. This gesture was praised by the Indonesian press and eventually led to better bilateral relations between the two countries.

In February 2014, the Singapore Government expressed its deep concern over Indonesia's announcement that a navy frigate would be named in honour of Osman and Harun for their role in the MacDonald House bombing. Indonesia, however, went ahead with its naming of the frigate after the two bombers. Singapore Minister for Defence Ng Eng Hen responded by announcing in parliament that the frigate would not be allowed to call at its ports and naval bases nor sail alongside or take part in training exercises with ships from the Singapore Armed Forces.Indonesia's General Moeldoko subsequently apologised for the naming decision. Ng welcomed the move and said that the Singapore Armed Forces would reciprocate by resuming bilateral ties with the Indonesian
