Mexican condemnation
Two of those killed and at least six injured were Mexicans, Mexico's foreign ministry said. The government is still in the process of identifying all the victims.

The country's ambassador to Egypt, Jorge Alvarez Fuentes, spoke to the hospitalized Mexicans, "who individually told him they had suffered an aerial attack with bombs launched from an airplane and helicopters. They were evacuated by civilian and military vehicles and then transported by ambulance to the hospital."

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto mourned the loss of his country's citizens in posts to Twitter.

"Mexico condemns these acts against our citizens and has demanded that the Egyptian government conduct an exhaustive investigation of what happened," he said.
