A friend of two British girls attacked with acid in Zanzibar said their assailants "smiled" before throwing the substance, Channel 4 News has reported.
Student Olivia Moore told the programme: "The two men were on a moped and they went past a group of tourists, and then stopped for the girls.
"The two men then looked at each other, they nodded, and then the man on the back of the bike smiled and threw acid on the girls. From then on it is just chaotic."
