Louisa Vesterager Jespersen and Maren Ueland

On 17th December 2018, in the serene isolation of the High Atlas mountains, a tent stood on the hiking trail. At first glance, it seemed deserted, but keen-eyed French hikers alerted the police to an unimaginable scene. Inside the tent, the bodies of two foreign women were discovered, bearing multiple stab wounds and their heads decapitated.

The investigation was a short one, as within 3 days, the Moroccan Authorities comprehended the suspects. But the people in the countries fo Morocco, Norway and Denmark were left confused when the names of the two victims were accociated with one of the biggest terrorist organization ever known.
