Two French tourists stranded in Atlas mountains rescued

Two French tourists, stranded in the high Atlas mountains in the central province of Azilal, were rescued Wednesday after two days of search. Thomas Jacques and Aimard Slecaire Mireille were lost in hard-to-access heights after strong rain and snow falls.

They were found safe and sound after intense search by teams of military skiers in cooperation with the Gendarmerie Royale and local authorities.
