Egyptian forces bombed a convoy of Mexican tourists around 5 times over a period of 3 hours, even after security forces on the ground had stopped them twice and cleared their passage, one of six survivors of Sunday's deadly attack said.

Susana Calderon is recovering from the bombing in a hospital in Cairo. Her husband, Luis, was among eight Mexicans killed in what has been described as an accident that claimed 12 lives.

"We were bombed some five times, always from the air," she told Mexican newspaper El Universal from her hospital bed. Her arm is marked with wounds and her right leg is paralyzed, though doctors believe she will recover movement.
