SALE, Morocco: The alleged leader of a militant cell accused of killing two Scandinavian hikers in Morocco admitted to the murders in court on Thursday , saying they were carried out in the name of the Islamic State group.

Ejjoud - who had previously been jailed for trying to join IS in Syria - confessed to organising the mission to the High Atlas mountains on Dec 12 during which the tourists were killed.The prosecution has said several potential targets were passed over because the foreigners were accompanied by guides or local residents.

The only foreigner among the defendants is Spanish-Swiss 25-year-old Kevin Zoller Guervos, who moved to Morocco after converting to Islam.
