Muslim terrorists decapitate two Scandinavian tourists in Morocco

A video showing the beheading of a Scandinavian tourist in Morocco is being widely circulated by gloating ISIS fanatics on social media.

The gruesome footage shows a man using a large knife to sever the head of a woman, believed to be Danish tourist Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, while shouting 'it's Allah's will'.

Jespersen was on a month-long hiking holiday in Morocco with Maren Ueland, 28, from Norway. The two friends, who were studying to be outdoor guides at a Norwegian University, were found dead near the village of Imlil in Morocco's High Atlas mountains on Monday.
