He did travel to Africa with Ali Medlej and Xris Katsiroubas who were found dead at the gas plant.
Yoon was reportedly studying the Qur’an at the religious school along with some Americans and Europeans. He was visited in prison by a representativefrom the Canadian embassy in Morocco and is said to be in good condition.
