Egypt reaches final compensation agreement with families of slain Mexican tourists: The families of Mexican tourists killed in an air attack by the Egyptian military will receive an undisclosed sum after Eid Al Adha (which we take to mean “as early as this week”) after the Mexican government reached an agreement with the Egyptian Travel Agents Association, a nongovernmental industry group, Reuters reported last week. Military aircraft attacked the convoy on the Western Desert in September 2015, apparently mistaking the convoy for terrorists. The agreement also includes arrangements for Egypt to construct a memorial to honor both the Mexicans and Egyptians slain in incident.
