Survivors said their group was bombed from a plane and helicopters. As members of the tourist convoy tried to flee, additional forces on the ground fired on them, Egyptian security sources said.

The sister of a Mexican Reiki healer who said her brother was among the dead said a relative of the group's tour guide had sent her a list of eight Mexicans killed in the attack.
