Security forces in Egypt have claimed to
have accidentally shot twelve people and
injured 10 others. Those killed include
Mexicans.
According to the interior ministry, a joint
military force was chasing tourists which
they mistook for militants, in the country's
western desert, which borders Libya, when
it inadvertently opened fire on the convoy.
Egypt's tourism ministry spokesman said the convoy was at an off-limits site and was using unlicensed cars. He said the convoy was taking part in an unapproved safari. But Mexican President, Enrique Pena Nieto, has condemned the attack on his Twitter account, describing it as a tragic incident and demanding a full investigation. Mexican ambassador to Egypt visited five other nationals being treated at the Dar al- Fouad Hospital in a western Cairo suburb, and they are said to be in a stable condition. There is no news on how many Mexicans were involved.
