Mexican survivors leave Egypt

Six Mexican tourists who survived a deadly air raid on their convoy by Egyptian security forces have returned home, as the government has vowed to press for answers over how the group was mistaken for armed rebels.
The survivors were Friday lowered on a platform from the presidential plane, which President Enrique Nieto sent to Egypt with the foreign minister to bring them home.
The five women and one man, who suffered burns and injuries from what one survivor described as a three-hour bombing ordeal last Sunday, were immediately swept by helicopter to hospital to finish their recovery.
Mercedes Juan Lopez, Mexico's health minister, said that one of the survivors had a broken femur, but that they were all in a stable condition. None of the survivors had been shot, she said. There were reports that forces on the ground had fired on the tourists as they tried to flee, according to Al Jazeera.
