The Presidential plane returned to Mexico with the six Mexicans wounded in Egypt in an attack by the security forces of that country.

The airplane landed in the Presidential hangar of the Benito Juárez International Airport, where five military ambulances and two of the Ministry of Health were expecting them. But, after the landing, they were transported in "Condor" helicopters to a local hospital.

Foreign Affairs minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu was the first to get down from the plane. Ruiz Massieu traveled to Egypt with the relatives of the wounded to see that they were returned to Mexico and received reparations from the local government.
