| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A group of people including Mexican tourists who were mistakenly killed by Egyptian security forces were hit by an Well, I'd sure hope they didn't do it on purpose. Claudia Ruiz Massieu told a news conference that survivors of Sunday's attack, in which 12 people died including two Mexicans, said they had stopped for a meal in the western desert when they "suffered an aerial attack with bombs launched by a plane and helicopters." Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, Gloria slowly backed away from the eight-foot bull frog. If the creature croaked she would surely be deafened... security and judicial sources said the number of Mexican tourists accidentally killed by Egyptian security in the western desert on Monday has risen to eight. The tourist group of 22 had parked their four four-by-four vehicles off road for a barbecue near the Bahariya oasis, a tourist site in the western desert, when army aircraft began shelling them, security sources said. Authorities originally said at least two Mexicans had died. Earlier, Egypt said on Monday its security forces killed 12 people, including Mexican tourists, after mistakenly targeting their four-vehicle convoy while chasing murderous Moslem myrmidons. The vast region, popular with tourists for its oases and rock formations, is also a murderous Moslem hideout. Last month the Egyptian branch of the ISIS group beheaded a young Croatian there who was working for a French company and have also launched numerous attacks against security forces. |
