02:07 - These were horrific, unprovoked attacks
02:23 on men in their 70s and 80s.
02:24 These were two men who had left their mosques
02:27 after their prayers, very close to Ramadan starting,
02:30 so you can understand the tensions and the fears
02:33 in the wider Muslim community.
02:35 You can see from the CCTV that these attacks were planned.
02:37 You can hear from the screams of Mr. Riaz,
02:40 which were caught on CCTV,
02:42 that he must have been in indescribable pain.
02:44 The victims have been left with lasting injuries
02:45 and significant mental trauma.
02:47 I'd like to thank them and their families
02:49 for the courage that they've shown
02:50 and the support that they've provided to us
02:52 throughout this ordeal.
