Ethiopia Attack Survivors Return To Hungary
"The three Hungarian survivors of the attack on a group of tourists in Ethiopia last Tuesday arrived back in Budapest on Friday, prime ministerial spokesman Péter Szijjártó told reporters Friday afternoon.

The survivors fought for 13 hours to save the life of their injured partner Gábor Szabó after the group was attacked at their camp at the Erta Ale volcano.

Medical assistance arrived 36 hours later by which time Szabó had died.

One of the survivors was taken to a Budapest hospital for treatement of an injury, while the Anti-Terrorist Centre made arrangements for the transport of the two others and their baggage within Hungary.

The bodies of the deceased are expected to be flown to Hungary in the second half of this week.

Two Hungarians, two Germans and one Austrian were killed by the terrorists, while two Germans and two Ethiopians were kidnapped."
