EOKA RETALIATES: Nicosia, 25 - The National Cypriot Fighters’ Organization (EOKA) today took revenge for the hanging of three Greek Cypriots - Stelios Mavromatis, Michail Kotsaftis and Andreas Panagydis - by the British authorities on September 21. They blew up a British military vehicle carrying British soldiers through a mountainous region north of Paphos. One British soldier was killed and another 11 injured. The condition of three of them is very serious. A British military spokesman announced that the trigger of the weapon used in the attack was believed to be a remote control device.
