Cyprus Truce Ends Amid Bomb Blast in Lanarea
The daylong truce in Cyprus ended with a bombing in Lanarea on the east coast, damaging a Creek family’s house but causing no casualties. Authorities blamed ERA, the extremist underground, for the attack as they arrested Mayor Themis Dervis for questioning and moved six EOKA prisoners to Britain. A life-sentenced EOKA member escaped, and searches focused on Dervis’ Town Hall office amid possible links to captured EOKA documents.
