Eight Mexicans were killed by Egypt's army in an apparently mistaken aerial bombing of a tourist convoy, Mexico's government said on Tuesday, matching the fatality estimates given by security sources in Egypt and a relative of two of the victims.
Mexico's government had previously confirmed two nationals died in an attack that killed a total of 12 people and wounded 10. It revised its death toll after studying the remains of six victims who had been unaccounted for.
Mexican Foreign Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu traveled on Tuesday to Cairo to bring the survivors and remains of the victims back to Mexico.
