webfact Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Two Scandinavian women found dead in Moroccan mountains - statement FILE photo Atlas Mountains//wikipedia RABAT (Reuters) - Two female tourists from Norway and Denmark were found dead on Monday in the Atlas Mountains in central Morocco, with both having neck wounds caused by knives, the country's interior ministry said. The women were found in an isolated area on the way to North Africa’s highest peak of Toubkal, the ministry said in a statement. Toubkal is a popular trekking and hiking destination 82 km (50 miles) south of Morocco's largest tourist hub, Marrakech. An investigation has been opened to determine the circumstances of the “criminal incident,” the statement said, without providing further details.

farcanell Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The folly of feminism... encouraging females to act as if they where men (or rather...equal too), without proper regard for specifics.... whilst this might be ok in most western countries, it sets a dangerous example that often turns bad in other locations, especially ones that are still dominated by patriarchy norms Almost every hollywood outing has a female teir one operator or fighter pilot, yet in reality, they are as rare as rocking horse poop... PC BS designed to empower girls... and this is a tragic example (consequence) of that folly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puchaiyank Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 No one deserves to be treated so inhumanely. The world is getting more dangerous every year...there are places I once worked and played that are unsafe to drive through today. Sad ending to two ladies trying to experience a little adventure.

balo Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 This is much worse than you think , It has been confirmed it was a terrorist attack , and ISIS behind it. The monsters filmed killing one of the girls and uploaded the video to the girls Facebook page so the family members could see the video , they first raped the girls and then killed them with slowly beheading them with a sword. By accident I watched parts of the video , it has been uploaded via social media and it's the worst thing I have seen in my life. They are true monsters. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46632182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hundreds of Moroccans have attended a vigil in the capital Rabat for two Scandinavian tourists found murdered in the Atlas mountains on Monday. Holding signs saying "sorry", they gathered to remember Maren Ueland, 28, and Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, at the embassies of Norway and Denmark. On Friday Norwegian police said a video appearing to show one of the tourists being beheaded was likely to be real. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-46662748 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine more arrests were made on Thursday and Friday for suspected links to the perpetrators, Moroccan officials said." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the night a Morrocan guy crept into their tent and slit both their throats. She survived, her husband didn't. Turned out that the guy had escaped from a mental asylum. No indication that it was Islamic fundamentalists. This can happen anywhere in the world. Morocco is relatively safe compared to other Arab countries.

Puchaiyank Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Terrorists committing atrocious acts of violence would have you believe they are prepared to rule the world. Imagine a world so desensitized to senseless murders that it becomes an acceptable practice to control the masses. This is why we can never give in to these inhumane animals. I wish to apologize now to any animals I may have offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realfunster Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Absolutely horrific events. My condolences to the families. I am somewhat surprised that this appears to have received minimal news coverage, those directly responsible & conspirators, who have apparently filmed the murder and claimed ISIS allegiance, should face the harshest penalties available. These savage people do not understand reason, as we know it, and should be swiftly & permanently removed from circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Australia this terrible event has had coverage in the main news outlets, including more arrests of the IS cell. Also many Moroccans who have publicly condemned the murders and murderers, as well as saying contrary to Islam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
