Zimbabwe Court Has Charged 3 South Africans On Attempt To Export Wildlife

Egyptian security forces on Monday killed 12 Mexicans and Egyptians when a tourist convoy was mistaken for militants. A statement by the Mexico Foreign Ministry said 10 people were also injured as the tourists were chased in the country’s western desert.
At least two Mexicans were killed, Mexico’s foreign ministry, said in a statement. A joint force from the Egyptian police and military was chasing militants in the country’s vast western
desert, which borders Libya, when it inadvertently opened fire on the convoy.
The convoy was made up of four four-wheel drive vehicles, the Egyptian Interior Ministry, said in a statement, and there would 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.
   Meanwhile a spokesman for the Egypt’s Tourism Ministry told newsmen that the convoy was at an off-limits site and was using unlicensed cars.“The convoy was taking part in an unapproved safari,’’ he said.
