Plans to commemorate last year's terror attack on March 15 risk re-opening emotional wounds, say Christchurch's Muslim community, as they explain there's no tradition of marking anniversaries in Islam.

Despite that, the Council is pressing ahead with plans, while Dunedin's council has decided to mark the tragic date in a different way.
