War-weary residents of Kabul expressed anger and feelings of betrayal by the US on Saturday, as the world marked the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that prompted a United States invasion of Afghanistan and the toppling of its Taliban rulers.

A week after a man known to police because of his extremist beliefs stabbed seven people in a west Auckland supermarket, Newshub Nation can reveal the authorities are monitoring dozens more with "potentially violent extremist views".

If the Crown had its way he would likely have been in prison but for a loophole in the law, which meant he couldn't be charged with plotting an attack earlier this year.
