Algeria's Warning Shots Turn Deadly: Jet Skiers Shot for Crossing Border

Algerian officials claim that they fired "multiple" warning shots before shooting at a group of jet skiers who had crossed over from Morocco, killing two of them. The incident occurred in the waters around the Moroccan resort town of Saidia. One survivor disputes the claim of warning shots and says they were fired upon even though they were unarmed. The border between Algeria and Morocco has been closed since 1994, and tensions between the two countries have been high. Morocco's National Human Rights Council has condemned the shooting and ordered the release of a detained member of the group. Investigations are ongoing, and France's Foreign Ministry is in contact with authorities.
