Egypt: Security Forces Mistakenly Attack Mexican Tourists, Killing 12 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Egypt, at least a dozen people visiting from Mexico have died after
Egyptian security forces mistakenly fired on a group of tourists and
guides. Egypt's Interior Ministry said security forces were "chasing
terrorist elements" in the western desert when they "accidentally
engaged four four-wheel drives belonging to a Mexican tourist group."
Meanwhile, Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab and his Cabinet
resigned over the weekend, days after the agriculture minister was
arrested over corruption.
