FOX NEWS FLASH TOP HEADLINES FOR SEPTEMBER 1

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com.

The Algerian coast guard shot two tourists dead and arrested a third after the
group accidentally entered their waters from Morocco on jet skis during their
holiday. 




Four tourists of French-Moroccan dual nationality set off from a Moroccan resort
in the town of Saidia and "got lost" on the open waters until they found
themselves in Algeria, one of the surviving members told the AFP. 

"We knew we were in Algeria, because a black Algerian dinghy came towards us,"
Mohamed Kissi, brother of one of the deceased, explained. The coast guard opened
fire, killing Kissi’s brother Bilal and their friend. 



Reports claimed that the group tried to flee the coast guard, which would have
prompted the shooting, but Kissi insists they did not try to run. Their family
has asked Moroccan authorities to bring the case to international courts.

according to a local Moroccan outlet. Kissi alone escaped.

Fishermen found his brother’s body hours later floating in the water. His family
was able to reclaim his body and buried him near the city of Oujda in Morocco on
Wednesday.

Merchouer’s family have appealed for the return of his body as well, asking for
the authorities of both countries to come to an agreement to expedite the
process.

Moroccan authorities did not comment on the case, calling it a judicial matter,
and Algeria’s navy and foreign ministry have made no comment, either.

France's Foreign Ministry said it had learned of the death of one of its
nationals and the detention of another in Algeria and was in touch with the
families and with authorities in Morocco and Algeria.

Smail Snabe, the man arrested by the coast guard, appeared before a prosecutor
on Wednesday, but the details of the session remain undisclosed, the BBC
reported.

The border disputes between Algeria and Morocco have remained tense since both
gained independence from colonial France, with tight controls along the border
and no direct legal trade between the two countries. 

The border closed in 1994, and the countries severed diplomatic ties in 2021 due
to alleged "hostile acts," with Morocco calling the action "completely
unjustified."
