Moroccan jetski tourist describes being shot at by Algerian coastguard

Mohamed Kissi says forces approached and began fatal shooting after group strayed into Algerian waters

A Moroccan man has described how Algerian coastguard forces drew level with him and a group of holidaymakers who had accidentally strayed into the nation's waters on jetskis before opening fire.

Mohamed Kissi said the incident took place at sunset on Tuesday when the four men travelling on two jetskis got lost after taking a wrong turn off the beach resort of Saidia on Morocco's north-east tip. The group was almost out of fuel when they unknowingly crossed the border into Algeria.
