At least 12 people were killed and 10 injured in Egypt's southwestern desert Sunday when security forces mistakenly fired on a group of Mexican tourists, Egyptian officials said.

The Mexican Foreign Ministry confirmed the incident and said at least two of the dead were Mexican nationals. It said in a statement that the victims were still being identified, and Foreign Ministry personnel were working with the families of the victims.

the tourists were actually a delegation from a Mexican Drug cartel on a diplomatic meeting with ISIS/Al Qaeda to further their mutual ambitions in Mexico

“Er, Achmed, those guys look awfully short for MB fighters”

IS Egypt just an honest country or was it not possible to pin this on MB.

It would be interesting to see if any of these ‘Mexican tourists” were collecting welfare benefits from the US.

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto posted a statement on his Twitter feed Monday morning saying his government "condemns these acts against our citizens" and demanding a thorough investigation.

Yo, Enrique, on behalf of the family of Katie Steinle and the thousands of Americans who have been murdered and killed by your citizens, may I say, "Eat dirt."

I suspect you are correct.
For those who have never been to Egypt, the security forces go overboard to protect tourists.
They wouldn’t have gotten involved unless their was serious connections to terrorists.

the safari convoy had wandered into a restricted area of the western desert. The tour company involved "did not have permits and did not inform authorities,

Happens all the time in this country. Get used to it, Egypt, it's their heritage to act like that.

America is the most liberal country in the world as far as immigration policies, the most charitable in terms of giving and the most tolerant when it comes to accepting “alternative lifestyles”, but look at the comments in this thread.
Or at least I hope someone is looking, because the crap’s going to hit the fan soon if things don’t change.

To Hell with Uniparty. Go Trump!

No offense but the forum looks zany enough frequently with no help from you guys

Read up a bit

Egypt admits they were in a tourist convoy with a guide company in the western desert and Egyptian counter terrorism forces made a huge mistake

It may come as a shock but all mexicans don’t work for Chapo
