OSLO/RABAT (Reuters) - A video purportedly showing the killings of two Scandinavian tourists in Morocco by suspected Islamist State militants is probably authentic, Norwegian police said on Friday.

The bodies of Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, from Denmark, and Maren Ueland, 28, from Norway, were found on Monday in the Atlas Mountains, on the way to Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak and a popular hiking destination.
