Americans Flee Cyprus Violence
An emergency airlift began evacuating hundreds of American women and children from Cyprus amid anti American violence after the American Embassy was bombed in Nicosia.

Ambassador Fraser Wilkins ordered a voluntary evacuation to Beirut citing loss of confidence in local police to maintain order. Archbishop Makarios condemned the bombing as heinous. The incident is linked to opposition to a proposed NATO peace force.
