The ISIS copycat killers wanted to instill fear in the country but Moroccans of all walks of life stood firm. They did not give in to terrorism and showed a united face against terror.

Moroccan authorities captured four men involved directly in the appalling killing of the two Scandinavian tourists. Moroccan investigators believe the four main suspects acted on their own initiative, despite their allegiance to the ISIS terror group.
