Malaysia's government has blamed a group of foreign tourists for a magnitude 5.9 earthquake on one of the country's most sacred mountains.

The earthquake on Mount Kinabalu killed at least 16 people on Friday, and authorities are still searching for at least two others.

A few weeks ago, the ten foreign holidaymakers stripped naked, posed for a series of photographs and were accused of urinating as the scaled the mountain in the Malaysian state of Sabah. The photos didn't appear on social media until days before the earthquake.
