Like how the tourist knew? the fault is on the egyptians.

a mess

Well, I had fun in Taba. So, it's upsetting to hear about these incidents.

Welp.

RIP

Did they confuse them because Egyptians and Mexicans look similar? Had they been white tourists they wouldn't have been mistaken for terrorists? This is kinda ****ed up

No. Next time the army helicopters should land beside the cars in the restricted area during an anti-terrorist operation, knock on the window, and ask people in the car whether they're terrorists or tourists


They went out of the asphalted road and drove 2km into the desert even with signs on the road saying that they shouldn't

I thought Egyptians are of African heritage? and Mexicans are like American Indians?

I can't believe this thread is only 2 pages, this is HUGE news here

Egyptians are Arabs and Mexicans can be American Indians but some are Spanish mixed with Indians which results in something that kind of looks Arab.

This is so sad. I still think that could have something to do with it.

It;s been huge everywhere, even the NYT is on it.

Mostly because it makes a great US propaganda against ISIS "western tourists killed in egypt".

I hope that hatred includes Arab Gulf states including your beloved Emirates, because they're more evil than Egypt...

The odd thing part about this is Egypt actually takes tourist security very seriously. When I went tour groups got military escorts. The pyramids and the main museum are surrounded by the military and police officers.

This news certainly ain't gonna help them bring back the tourists though.

Survivors of the attack and the families of those who died have just arrived to Mexico, they sent a presidential plane to pick them up. I'm watching the news right now

this is ****ed up in so many levels
