A survivor of the incident, Mohamed Kissi, told local media that he and three friends, several of whom were French-Moroccan nationals, had been jet skiing around Saidia, close to the Morocco-Algeria border."Around 5:30 p.m., we got lost. We were running out of gas for the jet skis and were drifting. In the dark, we found ourselves in Algerian waters," he told the Le360 news website on Thursday.The Algerian coastal town of Marsa Ben M'Hidi, known as Port-Say during the French colonial period, just over the border from Morocco's Saidia, near where the jet ski incident took place.

He said the four men thought they were going to get help, when suddenly the Algerian forces started shooting. "They clearly saw that we were unarmed, my little brother spoke to them and yet they fired," he said."Thank God I wasn't hit," Kissi told Moroccan newspaper Al Omk. "But they killed my brother and my friend."
Moroccan media identified Bilal Kissi, 29, and Abdelali Mechouer, 40, as the two men killed. Kissi said he swam toward his brother and Abelali, calling their names, to try to help, before turning to swim as fast as he could back toward Morocco, where he was picked up by a Moroccan police patrol boat that was out looking for the men.An unverified video posted online — reportedly by a Moroccan fisherman — showed a body wearing a life-jacket floating face-up in the clear blue water.According to Moroccan media, the fourth member of the group, Smail Snabe, was shot and wounded in the incident and was being held in Algeria.
