Fatal Encounter: Tourists on Jet Skis Killed in Cross-Border Tragedy

TL;DR Summary
Two French-Moroccan tourists riding jet skis off the coast of Morocco were shot dead by the Algerian coast guard after accidentally crossing the border. The victims, part of a group of four, were targeted with gunfire when they got lost and strayed into Algerian waters. One member of the group was arrested, while another managed to swim back to Morocco. The incident has sparked outrage, with calls for Moroccan authorities to take the case to international courts. The killings come amid strained relations between Algeria and Morocco, who have long disputed the status of the Western Sahara and have had a closed border since 1994.
