Nine out of 12 Vietnamese tourists injured in the attack were taken back home on
January 1.
The embassy is implementing necessary procedures to bring the bodies of three
tourists killed in the attack back to the homeland as soon as possible.

citizens in doing immigration procedures and facilitate the transport of the
dead bodies.
