In an error of tragic proportions, security forces in Egypt killed 12 by “accident”. According to the Ministry of Interior security forces mistook a tourist convoy for militants they were chasing in the Western Desert, the mistake cost 12 their lives and 10 were injured.
At least two of the 12 dead were Mexican tourists, Mexico’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
The convoy had ventured into an area that was off-limits. The Ministry of Interior said there will be an investigation into how and why the tourists entered an off-limits area.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto condemned the attack on his Twitter account, describing it as a tragic incident and demanding a full investigation.
“Mexico condemns these deeds against our citizens and has demanded an exhaustive investigation of what has occurred,” he tweeted.
