'This is for Syria': tourists from Europe were beheaded in Morocco
In Morocco, extremists killed two tourists from Norway and Denmark. The decapitated bodies of the girls discovered December 17 in a forest not far from the popular tourist area in the Atlas Mountains.
Local police believe that the brutal murder may be an act of terrorism by supporters of the Islamic State.

These are the heads of your gods,” writes “Overlooked» with reference to Aljazeera.
Both victims went to college in the village of Telemark (Norway). Her friends were preparing for the trip to Morocco in advance, although their relatives warned that traveling there on their own was very dangerous.
“Louise Vesterager Jespersen, 24, from Denmark, and Maren Wieland, 28, from Norway, were killed in an unguarded area in the inaccessible mountains. The man detained on suspicion of murder belongs to an armed group,” the local prosecutor said.
Other tourists stumbled upon the corpses of the girls and broke camp near the site of the murder. Their bodies lay beside the tents in which Jespersen and Wiland lived. It is known that the dead traveled without a guide.
