Has anyone heard anything about this?

"A Swiss tourist was murdered in Algeria this month when a knife-wielding man attacked her at a cafe in front of her children, slitting her throat while shouting "Allahu Akbar", media reported.

The attack took place in Djanet in southeastern Algeria on October 11th, but was first reported this week by the French newspaper Liberation.

Switzerland's foreign ministry told AFP that it was aware of "the violent death of a Swiss citizen on October 11th in southeastern Algeria"."

  1. How long until the mods will delete this one, and because it’s not related to Switzerland (according to them)?

  2. Its been in the swiss news for a few days. I haven‘t found much more details as of now.
    Other news outlet write that the killer was disguised as a touareg.

    In spring 2023 I have been to that exact place. Probably sat in the same cafe. It is really weird to read all of that. But what is especially tough is are all the comments on reddit and other news sites. It just shows how uneducated and indifferent people are.
    Algeria has been the friendliest maghreb state I have visited (marocco, algeria, tunisia) – by far!

    Edit: you people prove my point. A whole country is being called murderous religious fanatics because of this incident. Algeria is the largest country in africa. The south is very different from the north.
    It might very well be this wasn‘t the first time this family has been to algeria.

  3. Beheaded in front of her children based on other reports. Looking now for the source… it’s actually in the article, I just read it now

  5. No, it just made the headlines of every international news outlet ….

  6. It’s always disgusting how western media will always use victims to spread islamophobia

  8. The proper response should be to close the borders to all Algerians until they can sort their people out, otherwise they’ll be doing the same here as they are doing there.
