The chief of Morocco’s anti-terror bureau has said that the mastermind of the murder of two Scandinavian backpackers has been arrested.
Abdessamad Ejjoud (25) a street vendor from Marrakesh referred to by his followers as “emir” is believed to have founded a terror cell bent on targeting foreign tourists.
Ejjoud is thought to have personally carried out the murders along with three others and so far, 18 people have been arrested in connection with the horrific slayings.
28-year-old Norwegian Maren Ueland and 24-year-old Dane Louisa Jespersen were backpacking through the Atlas Mountains when the Islamist gang set upon them and beheaded them before uploading footage of the murders online.
The sick Jihadi’s also sent footage of the stomach churching slaughters directly to one of the victims’ mothers, declaring the savagery to be “allah’s will”.
