Two French-Moroccan holidaymakers were killed by Algerian coastguards after getting lost on jet skis in an Algerian maritime zone on the border with Morocco, Moroccan media reported on Thursday, citing a witness to the tragedy.
France is investigating the death of a French citizen, whose family is originally from Morocco. The incident occurred earlier this week on the border between this country and Algeria. The young man was allegedly shot by the Algerian coastguard when he was sailing with a jet ski, with three other friends, in waters near the city of Saidía. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reported the death "of one of the citizens" and the imprisonment of another compatriot in the country. The accident also involved three other Moroccan citizens, two of them also with French nationality.
