Terrorist attack? No, no. Oh no, no, no

Two 18-year-old British women volunteers at a Zanzibar school are attacked by acid-throwing men. Last November, a Muslim leader suffered the same kind of assault. Earlier this year, two Christian leaders were killed. A Muslim group wants the island to separate from Tanzania and form a Sharia country.

Police said the acid attack on the volunteers was "an isolated incident" and has nothing to do with “tension between majority Muslims and Christians on the island.”
